I'm sorry; I think I'm being dense - what is their use in that context?
(I don't disagree with your main point, but I don't quite see where those techniques fit in).
- fogus 15y agoSome examples off the top of my head that use these techniques: * code generators: Visual Studio, Eclipse * monkey patching: RSpec * natural language DSL: Cucumber
- amouat 15y agoThanks! Very good examples. I can see how monkey patching could be useful in mocking or something similar. I've never really used a language that supports it though. I'm not entirely sure what Eclipse's code generation has to do with testing, but given the other examples I'll assume I'm being stupid again ;) I'm actually working with a lot of EMF generation stuff at the minute which can be quite painful.
