Also an article[1] on IPOG (In Parameter Order General) if your interested in test case generation stratagies. There is also an article[2] by NIST if your interested in combinatorial testing. [1] http://csrc.nist.gov/acts&#

As a californian who recently moved to the midwest (IA) the only thing I really miss is the mountain biking. On the other hand I love the road biking scene in IA.

minor nitpick: Prolog does not have functions. It has functors/predicates. Unlike functions there is no distinct set of inputs and outputs. In prolog you can solve car(Foo,Bar):-some_rule. for Foo or Bar.

Prolog is great at modeling complex logic. As an Automation Developer I use Prolog (swi-prolog) to generate test cases for some of the systems I test. In paticular I use prolog to model the high level buisness rules. This would be an exam

RedHat is supporting docker via OpenShift[1] so I don't see docker dying anytime soon. From my limited experience docker support on CentOS/RHEL 7 is very good. [1] https://www.openshift.com/products

Ruby (MRI/JRuby) are gaining traction in automated testing at large enterprises. Ruby is easy to learn and integrates well with java. Cucumber provides better reporting than JUnit/TestNG. For web testing you have watir. For SOA

Ruge looks interesting but the last commit is November 2013. Is the project still active? Ruge is dependent on SICStus Prolog[1] which is proprietary. Has anyone had success running ruge on an opensource prolog such as GNU Prolog, swi-pro

author here: Yes, this example is simple. IMO it's best to introduce people to what they are familiar with. I didn't want to write an example that demonstrated the full power of prolog but lost 90% of the crowd. My hope was tha

I think your understating how hard it is for a beginner to create a spec for an rpm. As a n00b I recently did this for sikuli on CentOS 6. The macros in the spec file gave me the most trouble. The close second was the build process until
