Hi all.

I am trying to learn how to use unit testing in a most productive way.
Such questions are at best marginally pertinent to this group;
I suppose they are acceptable as long as one asks about sepcific
technical aspects of Boost.Test or CppUnit.

However, I am trying to find out how to write tests in order to check
the internal workings in my classes etc. In this case a question will
be more about TDD or XP than the C++ programming language as such.

Are there online discussion fora or FAQs where such questions are
discussed?

Rune

The test driven development and extreme programming groups on Yahoo
groups welcome such discussion:

There is also the USENET ng, comp.software.extreme-programming.

I would warn that the unmoderated nature of C.S.e-p was what lead to the
creation of the yahoo groups. The signal to noise ration dropped way too
low.
