Here’s an outline of my upcoming CodeRage II presentation:
Ready to move beyond basic unit testing? This presentation will explain several techniques for getting the most out of your testing effort, including:
A system, inspired by Haskell’s QuickCheck, which helps generate semi-random test cases for you.
A simple, Delphi-friendly technique for enumerating lists […]
With InterBase 7 and higher, InterBase now provides insight into and control
over the internal functions of the server via the temporary system tables. This article focuses on practical use of the feature.
This paper examines how to integrate InterBase into common patterns for multi-tier development.

This paper explains how to specify and configure hardware for maximum
InterBase server performance. There are some general principles which apply to
nearly all installations, but other decisions are dependent upon the nature of
your particular application. Where it is not possible to give a single
recommendation which works best for all users, the paper will explain how to
test and determine the best fit for a given installation.
