The Regina Technology Community welcomes Greg Hutchinson!

Topic: Designing Better Software using Dependency Injection and Mock Objects
Designing and implementation of loosely coupled objects is usually considered a good goal, however in practice many programmers have more tightly coupled objects than necessary. Dependency injection is a design pattern that enables looser coupling to take place. Greg will briefly cover some concepts related to dependency injection and how it makes Mock Objects the natural choice for unit test cases. He will give a short introduction to the EasyMock framework as well as code coverage using EclEmma. The concepts will be reinforced with working examples.
