I am wanting to implement automated testing, using the Microsoft testing framework in Visual Studio, for my software development projects. I have created some tests, and all in all, it's pretty easy to use. What are some better practices for testing business objects, more specifically ones that read and write to a database. Is it best ...
From time to time we get bugs on production that can be fixed by for example by changing a configuration, disabling some part of the logic, and such. I've argued with my manager that we should reproduce the bugs locally to ensure the fix works, and more importantly so developers and QA can include the check for these cases as part of th...

I dont actually want the email to be sent, I just want to make sure that my code is correct. So I want to be able to check that the email is placed in a queue folder for example. Can anybody recommend a SMTP server which is...
I'm trying to really understand Cucumber stories. I get it, but I'm really slow writing them. I think if I saw a good fleshed out application, I'd get closer to where I want to be. There are some samples out there, but there aren't any I can find with a single app with some non-contrived example stories. Are there any existing ones? ...
What do you recommend for quickly creating images for testing a software product (that needs hardware access - full USB port access)? Does virtualization cover this? I need to be able to quickly re-image the system to test from scratch again, and need good options for Windows and Mac OS. ...

We have data sources defined to provide input data to the tests, and would like to perform our validations based on this data source also.

People at my company see unit testing as a lot of extra work, that offers fewer benefits than existing functional tests. Are unit and integration tests worth it? Note a large existing codebase that wasnt designed with testing in mind. ...
I'm connecting to a simple, if idiosyncractic, external service. I believe that my unit tests should not depend on the availability or implementation of that external service, so I intend to mock it out. I need the mock to accept and return realistic messages and responses - otherwise my tests won't represent real states of affairs. Fo...
I'm interested in how others organise their test scripts or have seen good test scripts organised anywhere they#'ve worked. Also, what level of detail is in those test scripts. This specifically relates to test scripts created for manual testing as opposed to those created for any automated test purposes. The problem as I see it is this...

Almost every application out there performs i/o operations, either with disk or over network. As my applications work fine under the development-time environment, I want to be sure they will still do when the Internet connection is slow or unstable, or when the user attempts to read data from badly-written CD. What tools would you reco...
I have an initializer which sets a default that is used throughout the app. The value is an ActiveRecord model, I'm essentially caching it for the lifetime of the app: @@default_region = Region.find_by_uri("whistler") The record is guaranteed to be in the database: it's fixture data which is referenced by other models. This works fine...

Has anyone experience with good software (or another way) of organising the individual tes scripts which need to be passed before a feature or whole release can be released to customers? I've heard good things about this http://www.rallydev.com/agile_products/lifecycle_management/test_management/ but am yet to use it myself. I know a lot...
