One lack I noted in last year's survey was: number of respondents was captured (700+ I believe) but there was no count of number of teams or organizations this represented. This strikes me as muddying the results, since questions addressed mainly teams and organizations. I've not looked at the new one yet - does the new survey address this?
Does it matter?
This is a tough statistic to gather, since the survey is completely anonymous. How would they be able to find out about the number of different organizations?
You have a valid point though, it can be an important piece of information for interpreting the results.
Stefan is right. We tried to keep this totally anonymous and therefore it is a tough one to judge. We do know that the respondents represented 47 different countries (or at least that is where their computers were when they took the survey :)). One thing we DID do last year (which we will again) is look at the IP addresses of respondents to make sure there isn't an inordinate amount for responses from one place. The fact that the survey is really vendor-agnostic deters people from 'stuffing ballots'.
The survey gets improved through feedback like this so thank you. Since it really is meant to be a broad-based survey that benefits the community as a whole, we tend to get great feedback and really appreciate it all.

Paul Sanford presents the transformations supported by data throughout its life cycle, and how that can be better done with Splunk, an engine for monitoring and analyzing machine-generated data.
A common “best practice” for unit tests is to only write a one assertion in each test. I intend to question this advice by showing that multiple assertions per test are both necessary and beneficial.
