My probe about Test Driven Development

Coding could be easy, but coding correctly is very hard. The problem I faced recently is:
 every task assigned to me have to pass the most strict tests from QA. It becomes more and more important to adapt the method of test driven development. I don't have too much experience of using this method. If I made some mistake in my blog, let me know. Your suggestion will be mostly appreciated.
Usually,  I will be assigned tasks by Jira(actually, by project manager if it's a one from him ; by QA if it's a defect or by someone else if they think some of the tasks assigned to them should be mine).
Let's take a example and go.
Task:
Make a jasper report called 'Demand Reset Notifications Report' and invoke it in jsp page.

Actually, this is just a very high level definition, have to take
step 1: define the requirements
Go to the requirement provider's office and get the answers from him/her. Now, I know the detailed requirement as below,

priority: 10
  • REPORT: {device identifiers, reset count, reset timestamp, reset type} of the demand reset notifications of selected device(s) within a selected time period order by {device identifier, reset timestamp}
  • SOURCE: TABLE abc, TABLE efg
  • SCOPE: xxxx

    Is that all? No, actually, even the provider,  they don't know the requirement well. Actually, there are two more related source of tables : Catagory and Location.

    Step 2: Test Cases
    Test Id: ITN-XXX-01 
    Test location: xxx
    Preconditions: click ' device search', select 'poly' -> enter 'xxx' in text box 'by xxx' and click 'go'
    then, click Menu item 'xxx' under Menu 'xxx' .
    Test steps:
    step 1:
    input: Select 'Any' in  Type , enter '2010/11/01' as start date , '2011/01/01' as end date,click 'go'
    expected: 1.The report display All matchedData from '2010/11/01' to '2011/01/01'
          
    actual:
    defect ITN number:

    step 2: ...


    It  works well for me

    Quicksort implementation by using Java

     source: http://www.algolist.net/Algorithms/Sorting/Quicksort. The divide-and-conquer strategy is used in quicksort. Below the recursion step is described: 1st: Choose a pivot value. We take the value of the middle element as pivot value, but it can be any value(e.g. some people would like to pick the first element and do the exchange in the end) 2nd: Partition. Rearrange elements in such a way, that all elements which are lesser than the pivot go to the left part of the array and all elements greater than the pivot, go to the right part of the array. Values equal to the pivot can stay in any part of the array. Apply quicksort algorithm recursively to the left and the right parts - the previous pivot element excluded! Partition algorithm in detail: There are two indices i and j and at the very beginning of the partition algorithm i points to the first element in the array and j points to the last one. Then algorithm moves i forward, until an element with value greater or equal

    Live - solving the jasper report out of memory and high cpu usage problems

    I still can not find the solution. So I summary all the things and tell my boss about it. If any one knows the solution, please let me know. Symptom: 1.        The JVM became Out of memory when creating big consumption report 2.        Those JRTemplateElement-instances is still there occupied even if I logged out the system Reason:         1. There is a large number of JRTemplateElement-instances cached in the memory 2.     The clearobjects() method in ReportThread class has not been triggered when logging out Action I tried:      About the Virtualizer: 1.     Replacing the JRSwapFileVirtualizer with JRFileVirtualizer 2.     Not use any FileVirtualizer for cache the report in the hard disk Result: The japserreport still creating the a large number of JRTemplateElement-instances in the memory        About the work around below,      I tried: item 3(in below work around list) – result: it helps to reduce  the size of the JRTemplateElement Object

    Stretch a row if data overflows in jasper reports

    It is very common that some columns of the report need to stretch to show all the content in that column. But  if you just specify the property " stretch with overflow' to that column(we called text field in jasper report world) , it will just stretch that column and won't change other columns, so the row could be ridiculous. Haven't find the solution from internet yet. So I just review the properties in iReport one by one and find two useful properties(the bold  highlighted in example below) which resolve the problems.   example: <band height="20" splitType="Stretch" > <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" pattern="" isBlankWhenNull="true"> <reportElement stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" mode="Opaque" x="192" y="0" width="183" height="20"/> <box leftPadding="2"> <pen lineWidth="0.25"/>
