It is interesting that he uses a fitnesse example.

Years ago we started using fitnesse at a place I was working, and we needed something that was not included, I think it was being able to make a table of http basic auth tests/requests.

The code base seems large and complex at first, but I was able to very quickly add this feature with minimal changes and was pretty confident it was correct. Also, I had little experience in Java at the time. All in all it was a pretty big success.

Fitnesse is Uncle Bob's baby so it makes sense to use that example, he can't get through a book without talking about it at length.

  • Interesting, is probably the wrong, word. I should say interesting to me, because I had a different experience with it. And it was not any sort of theoretical analysis, it was a feature I needed to get done.
