  • Over Specification in Tests

    I've gotten the chance to visit and consult various companies and I see this all the time: Over specification in tests, especially when doing mocks and stubs .

  • NullObject.For<T> - As simple as it gets, but no simpler

    This NullObject Factory from Paul is very nice, simple and clean in its design. I really like it and I can see many uses for it, in parallel with working with your standard mocking framework or IoC Container Implementation .   here is a little usage example (last line): var controller = new AccountController...

  • Unit Testing Denial Pattern #1: Pretending the test is no longer valid

  • The evolution of Unit Testing Syntax and Semantics

    The semantics of how you write a unit test, the basic syntax, or Domain Specific language of how we write them, has been relatively stale for quite some years now.  But under the covers, the syntax revolution seems to be brewing, as people try to come up with newer, hopefully better and more readable...
