The relevancy of search engine results is very subjective so therefore testing the relevancy of queries is also subjective.One technique that exists in the information retrieval field is the use of judgement lists; an alternative approach discussed here is to follow the Behaviour Driven Development methodology employing user story acceptance criteria – I’ve been calling this Relevancy Driven Development or RDD for short.
- Using Browser Push in Grails
Browser Push is the collective term for techniques that allow a server to send asynchronous data updates in near real time to a browser. This article provides an overview of browser push and then provides a sample of Grails usage.
- Using JMS in Grails
The Java Message Service (JMS) API is one of the cornerstones of the Java Enterprise Edition that allows applications to reliably communicate using asynchronous messages sent via a message broker. This article provides an introduction to JMS, the JMS support in the Spring Framework and then provides practical examples of usage within Grails using the JMS plugin
