  • Introducing QuickUnit

    A friend of mine, Ariel, just finished up his latest project, in the unit testing world – called QuickUnit . From the site: QuickUnit significantly reduces the time needed to design and generate high-quality unit tests. I see it as an interactive unit test generator with all the options for isolation...

  • Code excavations, wishful invocations, perimeters and domain specific unit test frameworks

    One of the talks I did at QCON London was about a subject that I’ve come across fairly recently , when I was building SilverUnit – a “pure” unit test framework for silverlight objects that depend on the silverlight runtime to run. It is the concept of “cogs in the machine” – when your piece of code needs...

  • Inhibiting design tooling and sex education

    during a reply to a thread about design for testability , Pat Maddox wrote something interesting about how the inherent testability in Ruby still does not make up for the lack of design skills: “ Too often I'm finding in the Ruby community we've got people who have learned how to test, and even...

  • Unit Testing Biztalk : Two possible frameworks

    BizTalk is notoriously hard to test. But I just came a cross a couple of interesting solutions to do unit testing for biztalk related logic and orchestration. BizMock : “BizMock is a framework for testing BizTalk solutions, using a Domain Driven Design (DDD) approach and fluent interface API. It has...

  • TDD: 4 questions that will help you create the simplest thing that could possibly work

    Today in class I got to understand, for the first time, what I define as “the simplest thing that could possibly work” when doing TDD. Many people struggle with the idea of simplicity. the idea of doing things to the point of “micro-increments” to the code, that will then help in driving out new tests...

  • Brown, Green, Refactor

    Having seen enough crappy unit tests to last me a lifetime, I think there should be a parallel to the old “ red-green-refactor ” (from TDD) – it’s evil twin brother should be “ Brown-Green-Refactor ” wherin you’d do a crappy test first, then make it pass (it could pass for the wrong reasons.. like threads...

  • Test driven design – Willed vs. Forced Designs

    I’m writing this as a typemock employee, but also as someone who has sat on the other side of the line for several good years, and can argue in both ways. The following, I feel, is true no matter where I work.   There are two ways people use tests to drive design, as far as I see. one is great,...

  • TypeMOQ API

    I was fiddling around with the typemock API, see what it would belike to use it in a more MOQ like manner: to support this, all the code you need, including the Faker class exists here . you’d need to reference the typemock dll and the typemock c# API dll to make it work. I’m not sure I’m crazy about...
