I'd like to be able to test a function with a tuple from a set of fringe cases and normal values. For example, in testing a function that returns true when given three lengths that form a valid triangle, I'd have specific cases, negative numbers, small numbers, large numbers, values close-to being overflowed, etcetera. Then generating co...
I'm looking to introduce a unit testing framework into the mix at my job. We're using Visual Studio 2005 (though we may be moving to 2008 within the next 6 months) and work primarily in C#. If the framework has some kind of IDE integration that would be best, but I'm open to frameworks that don't have integration but are still relative...
I'd really like to start implementing Unit Testing in my projects. I don't know how viable this is to do in PHP. If anyone has done this, how was it implemented? Did it increase productivity? ...
Saw many questions asking 'how' to unittest in a specific language, but no question asking 'what', 'why', and 'when' What is it? What does it do for me? Why should I use it? When should I use it (also when not)? Common pitfalls/misconceptions ...
I'm looking into using Visual Studio 2008's built in unit test projects instead of NUnit and I was wondering if anyone has any experience in trying to integrate this type of unit test project with Cruise Control.Net....
Getting back into a bit more .NET after a few-years of not using it full-time, and wondering what the good unit testing packages are these days. I'm familiar with NUnit (a few years ago), and have played briefly around with IronRuby, with the goal of getting something like rspec going, but don't know much beyond that. I realise I could...
As a novice in practicing test-driven development, I often end up on a quandary as to how to unit test persistence to a database. I know that technically this would technically be an integration test (not a unit test), but I want to find out the best strategies for the ff: Testing queries. Testing inserts. How do I know that it is th...
I've now found out what Unit Testing is, does anyone have an example of Unit Testing in C#? The example must be simple :)...
I'm currently working on an application with a frontend written in Adobe Flex 3. I'm aware of FlexUnit but what I'd really like is a unit test runner for Ant/NAnt and a runner that integrates with the Flex Builder IDE (AKA Eclipse). Does one exist? Also, are there any other resources on how to do Flex development "the right way" beside...
//Yes, Virginia, there is a wikipedia. What I'm asking here is what you've found unit testing to be in your own practice. It would be helpful to know the pros, cons, obstacles to introducing unit testing, flaws in the unit testing process, value gained by unit testing, and so on that the developers here have observed in their day to day...
Test Driven Development has been the rage in the .NET community for the last few years. Recently, I have heard grumblings in the ALT.NET community about BDD. What is it? What makes it different from TDD?...
I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the testing framework set up and usable in Visual Studio 2008 for C++ presumably with the built-in unit testing suite. Any links or tutorials would be appreciated. ...
Need good tutorial on this topic....
For the past five years I've been using TDD where possible and I feel fairly comfortable and confident with the methodology. I already know what mocking frameworks are used for but I'd like to learn more about how to use them. Does anyone have a list of links to good examples of using mocking frameworks (including best practices, anti-p...
Any suggestions? Using visual studio in C#. Are there any specific tools to use or methods to approach this? ...
I just keep stumbling through mocking... The latest disaster was not grokking that I need to actually push results inside a mock object of IEnumerable... Here's a sample (demonstration only of IEnumerable, not actually good Interaction-based testing!): using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using Rhino.Mocks; using MbUnit.Fra...
Mocking sealed classes can be quite a pain. I currently favor an Adapter pattern to handle this, but something about just keeps feels weird. So, What is the best way you mock sealed classes? Java answers are more than welcome. In fact, I would anticipate that the Java community has been dealing with this longer and has a great deal...
We have a junior programmer that simply doesn't write enough tests. I have to nag him every two hours, "have you written tests?" We've tried: Showing that the design becomes simpler Showing it prevents defects Making it an ego thing saying only bad programmers don't This weekend 2 team members had to come to work because his code had a...
Lately I had to change some code on older systems where not all of the code has unit tests. Before making the changes I want to write tests, but each class created a lot of dependencies and other anti-patterns which made testing quite hard. Obviously, I wanted to refactor the code to make it easier to test, write the tests and then chang...
The company I'm currently working for is using Selenium for Uniting-Testing our User Interface. What do you use to Unit-Test your Web UI and how effective do you find it? ...
