I am trying to write some complicated acceptance tests for my C# code. I notice that when I am writing my tests I am doing a lot of explicit casting to satisfy the C# compiler. I like the type-safety I get in my production code with a statically-typed language like C#, but for my tests I would be happy to use a dynamically-typed language...
I'm using Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2008 Team Suite to create a webtest for a site. On some pages the response is a file download (usually a PDF), and I just need to test that the response comes back with the right status code and content type, ignoring the body. When I run the webtest in Visual Studio, or run the compiled t...
I noticed the existence of Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.PriorityAttribute. From reading a little about it, it does not seem to have anything to do with the test execution order. That being the case, it begs the question: what is it used for? I'm curious, are there any known uses of this attribute either by Visual Studio ...
Some of my mstest unit tests help detect multi-threading race conditions, and as such they are most useful when run many times in a row, but I only want to do this for specific test runs -- not all the time. Is there a way to configure mstest (in the Test List Editor preferably) to run a test multiple times? ...
I have a legacy app that I am trying to build some testing into. I have some tests that require the HttpContext.Current.User Is there a way to mock this, or simply login a user on the fly? ...
How do I create and drop a database defined using Visual Studio Team System Database Edition from inside a unit test? (I guess that makes it more of a integration test...) I want to be able to create the database either for each test or for a suite of tests and then drop the database after each test or suite of tests. Is there an API I...
Hello guys, I would like to ask what is the best way to execute a setup like the following: We have tests suite that is compiled, and in the app.config file I have 6-7 different connection strings to different databases. I would like to run the tests suite against every connection, and I hoped to parametrize in some way this process - so...
I'm working on a project that uses the testing tool built into VS 2008. Periodically I will see an error comparable to: Value of type 'AcademyPro.Code.BLL.Appearance' cannot be converted to 'AcademyPro.Code.BLL.Appearance'. Type mismatch could be due to the mixing of a file reference with a project reference to assembly 'AcademyPro'. Tr...
Hi, I'm currently maintaining an "old" system written in C#.net, removing some obsolete features and doing some refactoring. Thanks god, the previous guy wrote some unit tests (MSTests). I quite comfortable with JUnit tests, but didn't do yet much with MSTests. The test methods have a DeploymentItem attribute, specifying a text file wh...
Within Visual Studio 2008 SP1, you can create a unit test project which uses MSTest as the test runner. I've been writing tests now at work that test unmanaged C++ MFC from the managed MSTest project, and it's been quite an interesting ride. There seems to be a difference between using the IDE's test runner versus using the command lin...
I'm running Team City Pro (v4.0.2 build 8222) for a VS2008 sln file. Right now I'm facing a problem where autogenerated code for private accessors in a test project not being generated and causes compile errors by not being able to find those (autogenerated) classes. The build runner is the default sln2008. Any configuration need to b...
I have a unit test that will test to see if a method that returns the correct IEnumerable. The method builds the IEnumerable using yield return. The class that it is an IEnumerable of is below: enum TokenType { NUMBER, COMMAND, ARITHMETIC, } internal class Token { public TokenType type {get; set;} public string te...
I'm having a problem with MSTest where I'm getting hundreds of error messages along the following lines when I build my solution: The best overloaded method match for 'ClassName_Accessor(Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.PrivateObject)' has some invalid arguments Argument '1': cannot convert from 'SomeObject' to 'Micr...
I my problem is quite simple, i have a CI server wich run msbuild and mstest. The problem is that the Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework.dll doesn't exist( and i thinks other file related to mstest...) if we don't install VS in the server wich is pretty stupid for a CI server... Anybody have a solution about this pr...

I would migrate all my unit tests from nunit to mstest. In the solution I have a nunit-config file, which looks like that: <NUnitProject> <Settings activeconfig="Web"> <Config name="Web" appbase="Web" configfile="web.config" binpathtype="Auto"> <assembly path="bin\Product.NUnit.ComponentA.dll"/> <assembly path="bin\Product.NUnit...
Has anyone experienced any issues with using the mstest attribute [AssemblyInitialize] when running tests with TestDriven.Net? I've tried 2.14 RTM and 2.22 RTM and neither seem to work for me. When I execute the test, the assembly init method isn't being executed. It's like TD.Net doesn't recongize the attribute. Any tips/ideas/clues i...
How can I create a wrapper around a testing framework? We still doesn't know which testing framework are going to use, but I need to start writing unit tests. With this question I want to know how can I switch from NUnit to mbUnit, xUnit or even MSTest. ...
I find the TestCase feature in NUnit quite useful as a quick way to specify test parameters without needing a seperate method for each test. Is there anything similar in MSTest? [TestFixture] public class StringFormatUtilsTest { [TestCase("tttt", "")] [TestCase("", "")] [TestCase("t3a4b5", "345")] [Tes...
