It's really called "brown sauce". Advertising was not a strong point when they started production!

You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric

Nope!  Your wikipedia link got me reading "The Practical Family Cookery". Interesting read...Not sure of the date ( thinking late 1800's, early 1900's), but it is interesting how it uses mostly general guidance, while today's cookbooks are very specific directions.

Thanks for that. I'll give the books a read - love the Google books. Being Canadian, I do have some problems with translating English to English,  but I might need a Bable fish for "The Forme of Cury". The article says it dates back to the 1400's

I often see TDD is dead, no longer exists blah blah. Well this might help for anyone who is confused want to shape up him/her self.
If you write code, write tests
The pupil asked the master programmer :
“When can I stop writing tests?”
The master answered :
“When you stop writing code.”
The pupil asked :
“When do I stop writing code?”
The master answered :
“When you become a manager.”
The pupil trembled and asked :
“When do I become a manager?”
The master answered :
“When you stop writing tests.”
The pupil rushed to write some tests.He left skid marks.
If the code deserves to be written,it deserves to have tests.

If a Test Fails in the night,
and no ones there to see it:
Does it make an error?!

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Nice, but writing tests is one thing and having a test-based *design* something very different.

Agreed. But it starts by knowing the basic which is Testing.

Just 2 things:

"I often see TDD is dead!"
it's a good header if you want to get some pageviews
2nd
TDD is not just writing tests...

Agree. Starts with "T" testing though. If he/she continues his/her dumbness, will follow another round for TDD for Dummmies 102, 202 even 400 and 500 once !

TDD as a religion should die.
In my previous contract the team (before I joined) followed their own (misguided) interpretation of DDD and TDD.
They had an awful lot of passing unit and integration tests (pats on back and a slice of cake for everyone, hoorah! ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) ), but the project didn't work properly from the users perspective, it continually missed all it's deadlines and after spending over £1 million on it, the team and the project have been canned (I'd got out before then, it was obvious from the start where the project was heading - I'd raised issues with management, but it all fell on deaf ears).
If you're developing a product, it's the product that matters at the end of the day, not the tests. TDD is a nice to have, but it's far from essential.

I keep seeing a JavaTDD role advertised, I was wondering TDD was a tool box, but from this it appear to a half- bottomed approach to testing...(think I will stay clear...)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-TDD but it's a means to an end, it's not the end in itself.
Too many developers get obsessed with having every possible angle covered by unit tests, in many cases the size of the unit tests become significantly larger than what they're testing.
The worst thing is when you see an awful architecture with classes with 32 dependencies - or more - being injected (yes, I have seen this, hard as it is to believe  ) into the constructor, then you see the huge amount of objects being mocked in the unit tests!?!?
TDD in itself is a good thing, but in practice I've rarely seen it used in a good way. It's not the fault of TDD, much in the same way as it's not a guns fault someone gets shot.
For every team where TDD works my experience is that there are many more teams where it doesn't because of the poor team culture and/or way it's being implemented.
