  • lowering the adoption barrier for unit testing: doctest in python

    One area that I didn’t know about was brought to me by an attendee in one of the conferences I was in. It’s a simple idea, really: write the tests for a method as part of the method’s documentation. but make them executable. In python, they have something called doctest (thanks to Alf Lervåg for the...

  • Isolation frameworks – lessons from the wild

    I’m in the process of teaching another TDD master class in Oslo this week, and in the past two days we went over the major Isolation frameworks in .NET (I refuse to say Mocking frameworks anymore. the “Mock” work is too overloaded as it is). We covered NMock, Rhino Mocks, Moq and Typemock , and alos...

  • Isolator Feature Focus: Faking Collections

    Another cool feature in Isolator is the ability to fake values that will be returned from custom collections (anything that inherits from IEnumerable as long as it is not in mscorlib - for example - sharepoint lists). With the new version you can now do the following with collections: 1) Return a fake...

  • SharpMock 0.1 ?

    James, I would love to see you take the idea of “SharpMock” to the next level . If not anything else, it would be an interesting challenge to write about. James took PostSharp and started looking at the possibility of intercepting static method calls using it’s code weaving API. Nice idea! James, you...

  • Isolator feature focus: Recursive Fakes

    Here’s another feature Typemock Isolator has that no one else currently has: the ability to return fake objects from properties recursively (without the use of an auto mocking container for such a feat). this saved a lot of reperitive test code of creating stubs that return stubs that return some custom...

  • Isolator feature focus: Live objects in unit tests

    Here is one feature that sets Typemock Isolator apart from all the other frameworks, that has nothing to do with legacy code: Live Objects. This feature allows you to just “new” up an instance of an object, if you can, and then fake method results on it, and send it somewhere into production code: [TestMethod...
