I often need to set up the same test structures for different test cases. Therefore I created a TestService class that has several public methods for the test classes. I guess that this is not the best place to put them as TestService will also be deployed although not needed on production. Where would you put those commonly test metho...
I am facing a new task in my job and I need to find out how to generate and administer test data. Googling led to a lot of information about specific test data generation like filling a database with random data or camouflaged production data, generating files, generating test data with multi-objective genetic algorithms to minimize test...
So I'm creating a few webapps that need to be tested over our local network, the projects currently sit on my MacBook which uses the built in Apache "Web Sharing" server. When developing locally, I just modify my hosts file and httpd-vhosts.conf to create virtual domains for each of my projects, and everything works fine and dandy. The...
Running some user-load tests with jmeter, and noticed that for each page load after the first load, the load sizes are similar. This leads me to believe that jmeter's simulation does not use browser cache emulation (e.g. the caching of css and javascript). Anyone know of a method for emulating browser cache in jmeter? ...
I have some Twisted code which creates multiple chains of Deferreds. Some of these may fail without having an errback which puts them back on the callback chain. I haven't been able to write a unit test for this code - the failing Deferred causes the test to fail after the test code has completed. How can I write a passing unit test f...
I have a scenario more or less like this class A def initialize(&block) b = B.new(&block) end end I am unit testing class A and I want to know if B#new is receiving the block passed to A#new. I am using Mocha as mock framework. Is it possible? ...
I've been recently playing around with distributing our testing load across multiple machines (and multiple cores) over the network. I've tried out: SpecJour http://github.com/sandro/specjour This worked pretty well and was really easy to set up. Reduced out testing time by about 30% across 4 machines (8 cores) However, I really li...
Is there any C# .NET resource from where I can learn about how to write Model Based Tests ? using NModel or preferrably Spec Explorer ? just some basic tutorials on how to write MBT ? thanks ...
This seems like a no-brainer, and I'm hesitant to admit that I've spent about two hours trying to find the answer, but I can't figure out how to run project-level tests for a django project. Just to be clear, running tests for the apps in the project is no problem. I understand './manage.py test', but it doesn't find the project-level ...
where can I find a good tutorial for Spec Explorer (beginner) ? ...
I've got to know and love the Django Test client. I'd really like to use it to test external sites and URLs outside of the current project. Is this possible? If not, is there something similar I could use? (ideally in Python) I don't need to do anything dramatic, just, say, grab a URL and check the status code, check that it took le...
I have a test class that extends ProviderTestCase2<>. I would like to populate this test class database with data from some .db files. Is there some particular method to push some .db file into the Mock Context of a ProviderTestCase2? Otherwise which way is the easier to populate the database from the .db file?! Thank you very much!!...
For web applications split testing various options get usually split tested to maximize their effectiveness with tools like Google Website Optimizer. One of the most impressive example might be Google and how the split tested dozens of shades of blue to find the right one. When developing android applications are there best practices to...
I'm fairly new to the unit testing world, and I just decided to add test coverage for my existing app this week. This is a huge task, mostly because of the number of classes to test but also because writing tests is all new to me. I've already written tests for a bunch of classes, but now I'm wondering if I'm doing it right. When I'...
We have a bunch of classes that listen for events from the server and then respond to them. For example: class EventManager { private Set<Event> cache = new HashSet<Event>(); private EventListener eventListener = new EventListener() { void onEvent(Event e) { if (e instanceof MyEvent || e instanceof YourEvent) ...
I'm writing a network app, where each Client has a Singleton ClientManager. For testing, I would like to create several clients (each in their own VM / process) without starting the program by hand n-times. The following two questions on stackoverflow already describe how-to do that: Is this really the best way to start a second JVM f...
Hi All, Recently our application went for Load Testing and in the profiler trace of out DB we found out that the T-SQL emitted by the aspnet_regsql command ran for more than 341 times, whereas it must only for the creation of the Notification table and the SPs it uses for reading and writing values into this table. Does anyone have any ...
How to write a program to test another program/script? I need to test a ruby script that is an echo server; how should I write a program to validate the correct working of the echo server script ? ...
I have a testing setup which runs an Application on OS X with a varying set of parameters, if/when the program crashes it's relaunched and continues from where it left off. However when the Application crashes OS X raises the “Application quit unexpectedly” dialog, I'd rather avoid this as it clutters the machine. Is there a way to inhib...
I just finished (mostly) a major application that I've been working on for a little over a year (off and on). It is around 86k lines of code, 50k of those is from Visual Studio's auto-generated dataset. It's largely a GUI to interacting with the database, generating reports, etc. It deals with money and manages contracts so it is importa...
