"Stale coding practices. The application development environments don’t leverage any of the new ideas in software engineering, like Ruby on Rails with its built-in unit/functional testing;"
Well since Ruby on Rails is a web application stack I'm not sure how this applies. And both the Android and iPhone SDKs include unit testing...
- jcromartie 17y agoiPhone apps have unit testing support with OCUnit, however it is a huge pain in the butt and practically nobody does it (even people that want to unit test)... so there is kind of a point there.
- theBobMcCormick 17y agoThere's a limited support for unit/functional testing in the Android SDK, but it's not well documented and rather cumbersome (IMHO). Maybe it'd be easier for someone with previous Java/Junit experience, but certainly haven't made much progress on figuring it out yet. Although there are a few projects (like robotium) that look like they might bring a decent testing environment to Android.
