Example class in pseudocode: class SumCalculator method calculate(int1, int2) returns int What is a good way to test this? In other words how should I describe the behavior I need? test1: canDetermineSumOfTwoIntegers or test2: returnsSumOfTwoIntegers or test3: knowsFivePlusThreeIsEight Test1 and Test2 seem vague and it woul...
Hi there, I need to compare the performance of AS3, Processing and openFrameworks for my Bachelor thesis. Are there any comparison tables you know of or do I have to do the test myself? How would a good test look like? I'm just focused on graphics so I thought about maybe three different programs, a 2d-graphics app, a typographic-app ...
I have used a bit of MS VS2008 integrated Unit Testing framework for writing unit test, but not that extensive, any suggestions which framework will work best for web based applications developed using ASP.NET. ...
Hi, how can I install a provisioning profile on windows 7? Just dragging it onto the iTunes icon doesn't seem to work like it would on a mac... It only "pins" it together. ...
I am using the jquery $.Ajax property for getting some data from database as json and manipulating dom with that. For example like this: $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "TipsAndTricksService.asmx/postCommentForTT", data: "{'ttID':'" + ttID + "','text':'" + answerText + "','authorOfTT':'" + authorOfTT + "'}", contentType: "applicati...
I've got a controller called SolutionsController whose index action is different depending on the value of params[:user_id]. If its nil, then it simply displays all of the solutions on my site, but if its not nil, then it displays all of the solutions for the given user id. Here it is: def index if(params[:user_id]) @solutio...
Hi, I'd like to know what would you propose as the best way to unit test aspect-oriented application features (well, perhaps that's not the best name, but it's the best I was able to come up with :-) ) such as logging or security? These things are sort of omni-present in the application, so how to test them properly? E.g. say that I'm...
I've always wondered the best way to automate use of a GUI in windows. When I was about 15, I wrote a little application that used some simple Windows API functions to automatically click on certain locations on the screen based on a script. This could be used to automate GUI applications, but surely it's not the best way. So, my quest...
I'm currently working on what I would call integration tests. I want to verify that if a WCF service is called it will do what I expect. Let's take a very simple scenario. Assume we have a contract object that we can put on hold or take off hold. Now writing the put on hold test is quite simple. You create a contract instance and ex...
Say there are multiple requests in a integration test, some of them are local sphinx calls(locator for example). Should we just stub out the entire response of these sphinx call, or, since it is a integration test, we want to excise the entire test without stubbing. If that is the case, how do we still keep test independent in the situa...
It's a complex 3rd-party DLL. Phase 1 for My project already finished. I need find a good way to integrate testing with both my DLLs and 3rd-party DLL. Now I need to replace the 3rd-party DLL with some of my my small DLLs step by step. All the interface member are same names. How to disable some of the 3rd-party DLL reference and ena...
Im learning Mockito and in chapter 16 they say you should not use partial mocking in new system. I disagree, for example in one of my actions i use partial mocking for static framework methods, sql calls, etc. I extracted the stuff into methods and then mock it in tests. Most of those methods are specific to this action and wont be call...
Hi, I'm having trouble getting access to my WPF UserControl DependencyProperty values through the UI Automation Framework. I've used James McCaffreys article in MSDN as a starting point (Automating IO Tests in WPF Applications, MSDN March 2009), but I can only see properties etc in standard controls such as buttons. I'm assuming ther...
Currently reading "The Art of Unit Testing" by Roy Osherove. I'm about half way through it and so far it's an awesome book. I'm going to ask everyone to leave IOC containers out of this discussion. He only briefly mentions them (actually states IOC are out of the scope of the book which I don't understand and is one of the few places whe...
Hi, I am working on an ASP.NET WebForm application using MVP pattern. For every Web Form, there is a Presenter class associated to handle UI and Business logic. However, I had problem when writing unit tests for Presenters, since session values are used in presenters. And there is no HTTP context exists during execution of the unit tes...
BaseControllerTest.PrepareController is enough for controller properties setup, such as PropertyBag and Context [TestClass] public ProjectsControllerTest : BaseControllerTest { [TestMethod] public void List() { // Setup var controller = new ProjectsController(); PrepareController(controller); controller.List(); // Asserts ...
Disclaimer: I am (mostly) hardware ignorant. This is probably my problem. However I find it hard to accept that it is not possible to debug hardware so therefore I just wanted to get some second opinions. We have an issue. Where certain actions (swapping Usb devices in and out at run-time) can blow either the Usb hub or chip on our Usb ...
I want to begin unit testing our application, because I believe that this is the first step to developing a good relationship with testing and will allow me to branch into other forms of testing, most interesting BDD with Cucumber. We currently generate all of our Base classes using Codesmith which are based entirely on the tables in a...
Is it possible to adopt the use of an O/RM like NHibernate or Entity Framework, and abstract it in such a way that it could be replaced if a situation is encountered that the O/RM cannot handle. It seems tempting to create a service with chunky service methods inside of which, a session is created, the session is used to get / upsert e...
We (my colleagues) have a messy 12 y.o. mature app that is GUI-based, and the current plan is to add new dialogs & other GUI in WPF, as well as replace some of the older dialogs in WPF as well. At the same time we wish to be able to test that Monster - GUI automation in a maintainable way. Some challenges: The application is massive. I...
