  • Unit Testing decoupled from TDD as well== Adoption

    The discussion on the future of unit testing for the masses has shifted from the standard “if they are too stupid to learn it, we don’t want them” to “TDD without good design will make really bad tests”. and this is a good thing. it’s a good thing because it secretly implies that if you could write Good...

  • Unit Testing decoupled from Design == Adoption

    In my previous post I started talking in more coherent words about feelings I’ve had lurking in the past year. This post is an expansion of that, after having some great twitter conversations in the past few days with some great people. Treat this as a stream of consciousness. before that, here’s a short...

  • Goodbye mocks, Farewell stubs

    About 4 years ago I was consulting for one of the largest companies in Israel (about 15,000+ employees) and helping them grok TDD and automated unit testing. I had spent there over a year and a half, on and off, and was teaching both .net, C++ and java developers about the techniques and tools they can...

  • 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 . One main reason for that is that people use their stub as a mock object (stubs are fake objects that we will not assert on so that we can...

  • Introducing Depender - Testability Problem Finder

    Depender is a tool that I created to illustrate several concepts both for my book and both for my training classes. I think it should prove valuable (as it gets more and more features) to anyone who is trying to write tests for existing code.   Depender allows you to load an assembly and inspect...

  • Over-testable systems, and mocks as bad test smells

    This is an interesting problem I've been running into at work. Sometimes we would try to write a test against the system or a component and we would literally have too many choices of how to write it or where to "intercept" or "inject" our stubs or mock objects.  In a way...
