I have got method which is using Assembly.LoadFrom(...) statement and returns the supported cultures from that satellite assembly, so how could I write unit tests for that type of methods. What I did was, wrapped that static method/logic to return cultures in anther class and used it's instance method. Is this the right approach? ...
Its known that DTO doesnt have methods. Since the controller uses the DTO objects , there is a dependency . should we set expectaions on the properties of DTO(mock DTO properties) while testing the controllers.? thanks ...
Hi! I've a problem setting up a test for an Equals method on an object. The object in question is defined by this interface: public interface IHours { ITimeOfDay OpenAt { get; set; } ITimeOfDay CloseAt { get; set; } DateTime ValidFrom { get; set; } DateTime ValidTo { get; set; } bool isCovered(DateTime time); } a...
I've spent a lot of time building out tests for my latest project, and I'm really not sure what the ROI was on the time spent. I'm a one man operation, and I'm building web applications. I don't necessarily have to "prove" that my software works to anyone (except my users), and I'm worried that I spent a good deal of time needlessly ...
How would one test whether data structure built properly? I'm implementing kind of modified radix tree, and been wondering how do you check if your data structure builds up correctly. Consider a tree of TreeNode {String, Int} nodes. You always want to append new child to deepest node of value equal to 0, as in following example: Root,...
I am a newcomer to TDD. What are some of the techniques you guys use on applying TDD to the development of a webapp? I am looking for advice for a newcomer. Practical examples or "war stories" would be appreciated. :) Bonus: What is some of the software you use for TDD (ideally for a LAMP stack). ...
Can anyone come up with a guidelines kind of stuff, suggesting the ideal scenarios when to go for mocking or faking (setting up the essentials manually). Bit confused with the approach? ...
I'm relatively new to TDD, and still trying to learn to apply some of the concepts. Here's my situation. I've got a WinForm with a DataGridView. I'm trying to write a test for the routine to be called by a button click that will perform some operations on the selected rows of the grid. So I will be passing in the DataGridViewSelectedRo...
In the article Test for Required Behavior, not Incidental Behavior, Kevlin Henney advises us that: "[...] a common pitfall in testing is to hardwire tests to the specifics of an implementation, where those specifics are incidental and have no bearing on the desired functionality." However, when using TDD, I often end up writing tes...
I'm gearing up to jump ship at my current company in (hopefully) 9 months or so. I'm a c# developer but don't have experience past the 2.0 framework and VS2005 due to the OS limitations of our target environment. Last year we had a consultant come in for about 9 months or so and he opened my eyes to new technologies, etc.. I still kee...
I need a short presentation on TDD to show at a company meeting. It need to be a on-line talk and not longer than 35 minutes. Do you have any recommendations? ...
I have an app which draws a diagram. The diagram follows a certain schema, for e.g shape X goes within shape Y, shapes {X, Y} belong to a group P ... The diagram can get large and complicated (think of a circuit diagram). What is a good approach for writing unit tests for this app? ...
I have been perpetually intrigued by test-driven development, but I can never follow through with it when I try it on real projects. I have a couple of philosophical questions that continually arise when I try it: How do you handle large changes? When it comes to testing single functions (some parameters, a result value, few side eff...
I'm just starting, and yes, i haven't written any tests yet (I'm not a fundamentalist, I don't like compile errors just because there is no test), but I'm wondering where to get started on doing a project that parses fixed length flat file records according to an XML mapping, into a class that represents the superset of all file layouts,...
var mockedService = new Mock(); mockedService.Setup(x => x.InterfaceMethod(args)).Returns(value); _Service = mockedService.Object; MyController controller =new MyController(_Service); var result = (ViewResult)controller.Foo(); Now this Foo() Method contains the Following API Call HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject(...,...
I couldn't find a way to do this, though this can be done by hand so why not with moq? ...
I am trying to use Test Driven Development to implement my signal processing library. But I have a little doubt: Assume I am trying to implement a sine method (I'm not): Write the test (pseudo-code) assertEqual(0, sine(0)) Write the first implementation function sine(radians) return 0 Second test assertEqual(1, sine(pi)) At...
I am a ruby programmer and I really like to do TDD. Right now, I am programming a little bit in C, but I like my tools and the way I program with ruby. So, I am searching for a framework to do unit tests in C. What do you can tell me about it? I already found some options, like: cunit, cmockery, CuTest and others. The problem is, I don'...
I'm trying to follow good practices when writing my testing suites. Halfway through i realised that iam spending alot (Most) of my time on the Fake Objects...Most of my tests does something like this public interface ITemplateRepository { string get GetGenericTemplate {get;} } public FakeTemplateRepository : ITemplateRepository ...
I've just finished reading "Domain-driven design: tackling complexity in the heart of software" by Eric Evans and I'm attempting to write my first domain-centric application (in C#). The application will be used by our helpdesk to track the allocation of computers to users. I've sketched a simple class diagram to reflect part of the do...
