Errata and Updates to my book and GitHub project (2nd edition)

Like any other kind of project writing and publishing a book never leads to a 100% flawless result, whatever the level of commitment and professionalism. My peers and I have spend so much time in getting things reviewed and modified. Alas, it might seem useless but of course isn’t. I am grateful we did catch various things and could get them improved. Not just typos or grammatical errors. Also necessary clarifications and additional information.

Starting to read the book myself as a source to my work I already have stumbled over a number of incongruities which I marked in my copy. Now it’s time to share to most relevant ones with you to enable you to get tour doubts addressed. Where I will not be able to update your copy of the book I will make sure that any anomaly in the code or any of the documents shared on the GitHub repo will be updated.

As promised on the same post for the 1st edition I will be updating this topic, so, keep an eye on it, if you want to be updated too.

Chapter 2 – Figure 2.1 – The red-green-refactor mantra (page 20 in e-book)

A small update was needed in the flowchart displayed in Figure 2.1. Note the difference in the following two images, where the first one displays the original version and the second the fixed, newer one.

The Vison file on GitHub has been updated accordingly.

Chapter 11 – Deconstructing your scenario – steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 (page 284 in e-book)

In the note a very unfortunate typo happened here: the words now a should have been no.

Creating, maintaining, and executing a consecutive sequence of dependent tests has
a couple of challenges as there is no formal way to link them together and enforce
their execution to be always a complete run of these tests.

Note

If you have any question and errata/updates to report feel free to do so below, and even though I am not listing any grammatical omission above you’re welcome to provide them too
