This won’t be a detailed post on every possible topic on object-oriented programming and testing, there are many books about that already. Instead, this will cover basics of testing, so you understand how and why we test, and you can adapt it to your own needs.

Building a custom Tableau® Connector for Claris® FileMaker® enables faster, more reliable and more flexible connections between Tableau and FileMaker datasources, compared with the legacy Web Data Connector.

This allows us to build robust web applications in Ruby on Rails, integrated with data sources from FileMaker solutions. When Claris introduced the FileMaker Data API we were naturally curious to try it out. At the time there […]
