I love the smell of green unit tests in the morning

Well, technically it’s afternoon but the reference to Whoops Apocalypse wouldn’t have worked otherwise.

The tests for PowerTime have been green before, but the tests and therefore the functionality, have now progressed a lot further. There’s still plenty of way to go…but at least we’re getting closer. Things have progressed far enough to allow Dean to commence work on the PowerShell integration. The basic idea is to implement a PowerShell container provider so you’ll be able to interact with the database in a natural way.

Release dates? Not sure about that I’m afraid…there’s no point in releasing something that isn’t ready or isn’t at least minimally functional. So, until we’re confident that the software is robust enough to be trusted with your data I think it best if we don’t release it publicly.

Fortunately, we’re approaching the point when I can start implementing some really brutal tests that will really stress the database. If it passes those tests then it will be ready for its first release. I was contemplating a library release initially, but I don’t think that would be sensible.

More news soon!
