ProUnit – unit testing framework for PROGRESS 4GL

http://prounit.sourceforge.net/

What's ProUnit ?

ProUnit is a framework to create automated unit tests for Progress 4GL platform. It's based on other XUnit frameworks, like JUnit, NUnit and others.

Why should I use ProUnit ?

Today's software complexity makes it really hard to avoid bugs during all development process and sometimes it's just impossible (or too expensive) to manually test the software.

Most of the popular methodologies today (specially the agile ones) suggest that you should follow some best practices, including component-driven architecture and continuous tests. ProUnit is a key tool for this scenario because it encourages the creation of components during development process, and enables testing them continuously so any bug may be fastly detected.

Check ProUnit User Guide to see details of how using ProUnit on you projects.

How can I get it ?

ProUnit is an open source project on SourceForge. You can download the source code, build it (using your version of Progress), do some changes (if needed) and contribute to the project.

Get Involved

You can contribute to the project, participating on the forums, submitting bugs or new feature requests or helping on the new developments.

Font Survey: 42 of the Best Monospaced Programming Fonts – CodeProject

This article presents commonly used programming fonts with examples of each font in ClearType and non-ClearType.

Introduction

Recently I have seen several blogs talking about which fonts are best for use in programming. Some blogs list two or three fonts, some list ten fonts. But I knew there were more fonts than the ones I was reading about, so I decided to look around to see how many I could find.

Here are some of the things I look for in a programming font:

• Easy to read - clear letters, with easily distinguishable punctuation
• Monospaced - this really follows from the point above. Although I know some programmers who insist that Arial or Verdana can be used in an IDE or programming editor, I have only included fixed-width fonts in this survey.
• Adequate whitespace - fonts that are too compressed are more difficult to read, and make it more difficult to catch errors
• Differentiated similar letters (1 and l, zero and O) are easy to tell apart

The Fonts

The following table lists in alphabetical order the most commonly cited programming fonts. While many are free, there are some that are only available via purchase, for $US8 - $US150. For reference, you might want to look at the CodeProject list of best programming fonts.

I look at fonts no differently than I look at other programming tools - they are professional investments. I discourage illegal use or copying of fonts. If you find a font that you cannot live without, then you should buy it if it is sold commercially. The price of fonts amounts to only pennies per hour, when you add up all the time you will spend looking at it.
