Hi, I would in an office which has been doing Agile for a while now. We use Scrum for project management and mix in the engineering practices of XP. It works well and we are constantly learning lessons and refining our processes. I would just like to tell you about our usual practices for testing and get feed back on how this could be ...
Hello, I'm writing my own transaction-aware (IEnlistmentNotification) piece of code and am trying to test it using XUnit. All I need is to wait the transaction commited and test the outcome is what I expect. The thing is that transaction commitment happens in a separate thread, so I need to synchronize my test and piece of code I'm test...
I hope this isn't a duplicate... What is the most solidly designed and implemented software system/framework/application that you've come across? It seems like TDD, SOLID principles, OO design patterns, and things like that can be easily theorized on podcasts and blogs using really simple examples, but it's hard to imagine developing ...
My question assumes that folks already believe that unit tests of some sort are worthwhile and actually write them on their current projects. Let's also assume that unit tests for some parts of the code are not worth writing because they're testing trivial features. Examples are getters/setters, and/or things that a compiler/interpreter ...
I've only done minor unit testing at various points in my career. Whenever I start diving into it again, it always troubles me how to prove that my tests are correct. How can I tell that there isn't a bug in my unit test? Usually I end up running the app, proving it works, then using the unit test as a sort of regression test. What i...
Please advise on the easiest learning path, as well as simple mocking library to start with. ...
I asked a similar question before, and got some good answers, but I think it was too general. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/559484/examples-of-great-software-design-and-implementation Does anyone know of any open-source projects that demonstrate really good TDD practices, and SOLID principles? TDD and SOLID are widely publicized,...
Hi Guys, I'm trying to understand what's the best way to manage older unit test that doesn't really match or works anymore due to reason like bugs or logic changes in your code? Do we just skip them all by and modify them to fit the current logic? For example if those tests weren't written by you, and now you're in charge to modify the ...
All the projects I work interface to a piece of hardware and this is often the main purpose of the software. Are there any effective ways I can apply TDD to the code that works with the hardware? Update: Sorry for not being clearer with my question. The hardware I use is a frame grabber that capture images from a camera. I then process...
I see the benefit of TDD, and I'm trying to learn how to wrap my head around it. I'm also reading more about DDD and want to start applying both of them to my software projects. I've purchased a few "hands on" programming books (by "hands on" I mean ones that discuss a real world application with real solutions as opposed to small snip...
I am in the process of converting my Tournament Organizer software, which allows the creation and manipulation of Double Elimination Tournaments, to use the MVVM design pattern so that it can be more easily tested. In doing so, I'm separating out the 'model' from some code in the UI that directly manipulates the bracket structure. This ...
I consider myself still pretty new to the TDD scene. But find that no matter which method I use (mock framework or stubbing my own objects) I find that I have to write a lot of code to create mock data. I like the idea of loading up objects to create an in-memory database. But what I don't like is cluttering up my tests with a ton of cod...
While unit-testing seems effective for larger projects where the APIs need to be industrial strength (for example development of the .Net framework APIs, etc.), it seems possibly like overkill on smaller projects. When is the automated TDD approach the best way, and when might it be better to just use manual testing techniques, log th...
Hope I can explain this somewhat decently, as it's blowing a fuse in my brain today. I'm learning TDD in C#, so I'm still trying to rewire my brain to fit it. Let's say I have a User class, that previously had a static method to retrieve a User object (simplified below). public static User GetUser(string username) { User user = GetU...
how to write unit tests to internal classes ??? ...
C#, nUnit, and Rhino Mocks, if that turns out to be applicable. My quest with TDD continues as I attempt to wrap tests around a complicated function. Let's say I'm coding a form that, when saved, has to also save dependent objects within the form...answers to form questions, attachments if available, and "log" entries (such as "blahblah...
In the notorious stackoverflow #38 Joel talked about how difficult it would be to do TDD for something like JPEG compression. Bob Martin wanted to cover how to do TDD for an instance such as that during podcast #41 but I don't think they ever got to it. Thus: How would one go about using TDD to develop and test jpeg compression? ...
I know what the advantages are and i use fake data when i am working with more complex systems. What if I am developing something simple and I can easily set up my environment in a real DB and the data being accessed is so small that the access time is not a factor and I am only running a few tests. Is it still important to create fak...
I've been reading about TDD, and would like to use it for my next project, but I'm not sure how to structure my classes with this new paradigm. The language I'd like to use is Java, although the problem is not really language-specific. The Project I have a few pieces of hardware that come with a ASCII-over-RS232 interface. I can issue...
I have uninstalled my trial of TestDriven.NET but it leaves this menu behind on the context menu. How can I remove this? ...
