  • 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...

  • A sneak Preview of Typemock Racer : Thread Deadlock Finder

    Here's a sneak preview of the upcoming Typemock Racer product, which I'm currently working on. We should be out in private CTP in a couple of weeks I hope. Typemock Racer tries to solve one huge problem for developers working in multi threaded environments: Detecting code that can result in deadlocks...

  • Is Moq too poweful?

    It's interesting to see the other mocking frameworks as they grow into maturity. Especially Moq which has been getting loads of new features recently. The latest one is something which makes me feel a bit weird after reading all the things people fear in Typemock Isolator :It seems that  Moq...

  • 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...

  • Typemock Isolator 4.3 and future syntax

    We just released Typemock Isolator 4.3 ( here is the blog post with details ). It's an awesome product but I envy the speed and ease with which oren can change his syntax (it's nice to work alone!) . I can tell you that the next version of Isolator is going to have a new syntax that is more towards...

  • 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...

  • Unit testing vs. Integration Testing : The Restaurant Analogy

    Here's an analogy I came up with to explain the difference between unit tests and integration tests. Imagine going to a restaurant with a bunch of your friends. there are some couples there as well as singles. At the end of the meal, it is time to pay. Unit testing is like giving a separate bill...

  • Two Faced Commits - how the ALT.NET Community is becoming more and more dogmatic

    disclaimer: I work at Typemock. There is a big trend I am starting to notice in the "Advanced" unit testing community. That trend feels more and more like hypocrisy. Take Daniel's post about mocking statics without Typemock . (Daniel is the creator of Moq , an open source mocking framework...

  • "Swapping" instead of "Injecting" calls between classes

    Eli Lopian, Typemock CEO and awesome Coder, just created a nice little API wrapper around Typemock Isolator that would allow a very simple and readable "Swapping" effect between classes. It would allow you to write code like this:     [ Test ]       ...
