Automated Functional Testing Article

It looks like Mr. Sutherland's article on functional testing vs. unit testing has been around for a while, but I just came across it via Hacker News. Benefits of automated functional testing My experience with unit tests has been largely ad-hoc, for example when I'm working with a bug-prone chunk of code. I've never been part of a large system with solid unit test coverage or worked in a TDD environment. That being said, I agree with the general premise of Tim's message.

Domain-Specific Language References

I've been meaning to read up on DSL implementation approaches, possibly for use in a thesis project. This is my initial list of references to review.
