Can anyone recommend some best-practices on how to tackle the problem of starting to UnitTest a large existing CodeBase? The problems that I'm currently facing include: HUGE code base ZERO existing UnitTests High coupling between classes Complex OM (not much I can do here - it's a complex business domain) Lack of experience in writing ...
Are there any continuous integration frameworks for CL? Specifically, I'm looking for: Automated "build", i.e. ASDF system load from base state Automated tests Status push - email notification and the like, especially for broken builds and failed tests Status pull - website, logs, anything the dev team can pull to read Status history - ...
Hi, I wrote an application server (using python & twisted) and I want to start writing some tests. But I do not want to use Twisted's Trial due to time constraints and not having time to play with it now. So here is what I have in mind: write a small test client that connects to the app server and makes the necessary requests (the commun...
I've not used Unit Tests before other than a quick introduction in a Uni course. I'm currently writing an application though and would like to teach myself TDD in the process. The problem is, I've no idea what to test or really how. I'm writing a Django application, and so far have only created the models (and customised the admin appli...
I want to use dynamic mocks when testing a Silverlight application. I have tried Moq and Rhino but these frameworks assemblies cannot be added to a silverlight project as they are incompatible with the silverlight runtime. Is there an existing silverlight mock framework (or patch for moq) that will allow me to use mock objects in a sil...
Ok, so here's the full description of the problem I'm having: I am trying to use NUnit ExtensionMethods but whenever I run a test containing one of the extension methods using TestDriven.Net or if I just flat out try to load the assembly using a test-runner GUI (Icarus or NUnit) I get a FileNotFoundException. Pounding head against a wa...
Hi Everyone, In our project, we have 20 simple web controls, 8 composite web controls including Ajaxable Custom Grid. And all modules are developed dependent to these controls. And now I afraid to change a control, because it effects modules more then I think. It's too late I know but I need to write some test cases for my controls. ...

Hi Guys, Yea i know i'm way behind times but what i've got here is a antique VB6 editor app which i believe that no one will be upgrading to .NET soon. It uses a couple of third party DLLs tools and as it's still using the good old RichEdit control i basically can raise my own Bug farm with just this tool alone. So enough is enough and...
Hello! I have written a small Perl script and now I would like to create a test suite for it. I thought it would be nice to be able to use the script as a module, import the subs defined in the script and test these. Is there a way to have the script both standalone Perl script and Perl module? (I do not want to split the script into a ...
I am writing a unit test infrastructure for a large Delphi code base. I would like to link calls to pure functions in SysUtils.FileExists for example to a "MockSysUtils.FileExists" instead. Creating a SysUtils unit with the same interface is not appreciated by the compiler. What I am thinking of is to hook in my mock function at runtim...
How do I go about testing a function or module that is machine or platform dependent? For example, something that looks at/depends on $^O or a module like Net::Ifconfig::Wrapper? I don't need to test that Net::Ifconfig::Wrapper is returning the correct values, but I do need to test whether or not I'm doing the right thing with those va...
Hello - I'm new to unit testing and nUnit (2.48). I'd like to write a test method where the failure case is that it deadlocks. Is this possible? Obviously nUnit doesn't know by default how long the method should take to execute, so would I have to write code to do the work on a separate thread and then abort it and throw and exception if...
I have several asp.net mvc websites consuming the same controller and model. This common logic is put in seperate libraries. These libraries use the HttpContext.Current.Session. How can I make these unit testable? I read about the StateValue but can't completely grasp it. Where should I get this StateValue thing? Is it a lib I reference?...
If all the business logic is present in a datamodule (TSQLDataSets and TDataSetProviders) how would you refactor the code to make the application more appropiate for unit testing? ...
In JUnit 3, I could get the name of the currently running test like this: public class MyTest extends TestCase { public void testSomething() { System.out.println("Current test is " + getName()); ... } } which would print "Current test is testSomething". Is there any out-of-the-box or simple way to do this...
I'm finally starting out with unit testing, having known that I should be doing it for a while, but I have a few questions: Should or shouldn't I retest parent classes when testing the children if no methods have been overwritten? Conceptually, how do you test the submitted part of a form? I'm using PHP. (Edit: The reason I ask this is...
Hello, I have a quick little application and wanted to give a try to develop using TDD. I've never used TDD and actually didn't even know what it was until I found ASP.NET-MVC. (My first MVC app had unit tests, but they were brittle, way coupled, took too much up keep, and were abandoned -- I've come to learn unit tests != TDD). Back...
Anyone know of a good way to unit test Scala actors? In the general sense I have an actor that receives a message and will send out other messages in response. This is done on multiple threads, and an actor that is not correct may either send the wrong messages or no message at all. I need a simple way of creating a mockup actor that sen...
