Hello everyone
I want to start a test driven development with ASP.Net 3.5 (C#), NHibernate with Oracle and NUnit. Can any body refer me any tutorial about NHibernate with NUnit for beginning. Any book reference will also be appreciated.
N.B. I have seen the summer of Nhibernate video series, but it works for SQL server only not oracle.
Thanks in advance
This tutorial could use a teeny bit of editing, but it's quite good and it's exactly what you're looking for: a step-by-step NHibernate tutorial using test-driven-development methods.
To learn more about nhibernate I would watch the summer of nhibernate casts. http://www.summerofnhibernate.com/
Maybe look at this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2178439/nhibernate-tdd-with-oracle-in-asp-net/2201945#2201945
Some other useful links I have used in the past.

For doing TDD with NHibernate, it can be useful to set up you database into specific scenarios. One technique I've used is using an In-Memory SQLite database. Because a fresh database is created for each test, you don't have to worry about inconsistent results from running tests multiple times that a persistent database can cause. Also, the test code is redistributable without the requirement of someone else to be running an instance of Oracle, SQL Server, etc.
On a side note, integration testing with the actual database is important because behavior can differ slightly, even with a nice ORM like NHibernate.
