I am working on Swing, I want to know how to effectively do TDD for my GUI applications. I have already done something using abbot and fest... but i still feel it is not effective, it is like doing Functional testing only, if any one having good suggestions please post.. ...
I have been trying to stick to the TDD approach. So I have made some tests and they all fail. Now I am implementing. But now that I am implementing I have seen that the methods are too simple to fail. In particular I have implemented the observer pattern and all that happens is that I notify all the registered observers. So use a for eac...
I recently finished a project using TDD and I found the process to be a bit of a nightmare. I enjoyed writing tests first and watching my code grow but as soon as the requirements started changing and I started doing refactorings I found that I spent more time rewriting / fixing unit tests than I did writing code, much more time in fact....
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...
Hello, I'm starting to TDD and I want to know if it is a bad practice to add a service reference to test my project or if I just mock a fake service on my tests that depends of the WCF service. ...
Hi stackoverflow family. It is doubtless that unit testing is of great importance in software development. But i think it is practice and philosophy which is test first. And majority of developers want to use this philosophy, but they can't perform it on their project because they aren't used to Test Driven Development. Now my qu...
fsc (fast scala compiler) is faster than scalac. but during TDD cycles i consume 3 seconds to compile sources over less than 1s to run my tests.. suggestion to reduce compile time near 0? obviously, buy a faster computer is not an answer :) i mean use some scala internals to compile source faster as possible ...
I want to start strictly doing Test-Driven-Development. However, I was wondering how much I should test methods generated by Moose and MooseX::FollowPBP. For example, I have the following class: package Neu::Series; use Moose; use MooseX::FollowPBP; use File::Find::Wanted; has 'file_regex' => ( isa=>'RegexpRef', is=>'rw', ...
I am developing some Python modules that use a mysql database to insert some data and produce various types of report. I'm doing test driven development and so far I run: some CREATE / UPDATE / DELETE tests against a temporary database that is thrown away at the end of each test case, and some report generation tests doing exclusively...
I'm currently working on a project with some fairly significant business rules where the problem space is being 'discovered' as we are writing the solution (pretty typical chaotic project management kind of thing). We have decent test coverage & rely on them quite a bit to make sure our signficant changes don't blow anything up. This sce...
HI, We are a small TDD team. We have a LCD screen mounted on the wall which we would like to have display the status of our builds together with current code coverage. Are there any tools that will provide this out ot the box? If not is this pretty straight forward to develop on our own? We are using TFS 2008. Cheers! ...
I have created an Excel 2007 Add-In and I would like to add a test project to test the code. I know I should do TDD but I did not know about TDD before hand :). I searched and found that I need to create a host adapter: Creating and Using Host Adapters. The samples from the SDK, however, are a "little" over my head. Has anyone already ...
Hi guys, I'm really getting to TDD recently, and after reading Kent Beck's book on Test Driven Development, I've still got many questions around test design in my mind. One of the issues I'm currently having is the use of Mock objects. Take below a very simple that generates a report: public string MakeFinancialReport() { ...
Looking for some practical advice here and any experiences people have had in a similar situation. We use a BDD/TDD sytle methodology for building our software (quite a large/complex application) The end result is.. behavioral specifications (Given/When/Then style) derived from business requirements, unit tests that reflect these and co...
I am trying to use test-driven development for an application that has to read a lot of data from disk. The problem is that the data is organized on the filesystem in a somewhat complex directory structure (not my fault). The methods I'm testing will need to see that a large number of files exist in several different directories in order...
Hello, I have a class API which has full code coverage and uses DI to mock out all the logic in the main class function (Job.Run) which does all the work. I found a bug in production where we werent doing some validation on one of the data input fields. So, I added a stub function called ValidateFoo()... Wrote a unit test against this...
Is there a framework to write unit test for Data Access layer? There are several issues in this. 1. How to populate your database? 2. How do we make sure that one test is not modifying values in db that can fail another test? Is there a good framework available which can take care of above issues? Update: I came across nDBUnit which ...
Currently I'm creating a server application to receive protocol-specific messages. I need to create tests to ensure that I've implemented the protocol correctly. Is this some kind of integration testing? If positive, can I make an integration testing with unit testing tools? And finally, what is the best way to create these kind of tests...
Hello world! I am looking for a set of nice plugins to use when developing software. Currently I am soloing a project where I simultaniously experiment with TDD as I go through the project. Recently I have been quite hyped about agiles processes and wonder how I can further integrate tools that will aid in my task of both completing the...
Hello, I have been reading quite a bit recently about TDD and such and I'm not quite sold on it just yet.. I make a lot of small hobby projects(just me) and I'm concerned if trying to do TDD is overkill for such a thing. Though I have seen small open source projects with like 3 developers that do TDD. (though I have seen a few one-person...
