Are you looking for a solution to your unit tests modifying data? Perhaps your unit tests are so slow that none of your teammates bother running them? You need mock objects. (more)

xUnit Theory, the Data Driven Unit Test

published 31 days, 4 hours, 46 minutes ago posted by

tdupont 40 days, 11 hours, 12 minutes ago

A good set of unit tests often end up reusing the same code with varied inputs. Rather than copy and paste that test code over and over, we can use the pattern of data driven unit tests to help streamline our test fixtures. This is the practice of having a single test definition be invoked and count as multiple tests at run time. This also enables us to do other dynamic things, such as configuring our unit tests from external sources. :) I love NUnit, but it does not offer data driven unit tests. I freq... (more)

Migrating from NUnit to xUnit

published 44 days, 19 hours, 54 minutes ago posted by

tdupont 46 days, 8 hours, 36 minutes ago

If you are currently using NUnit to write your unit tests, then it is not at all difficult to migrate to using xUnit. The philosophical difference between the two is simply this: with xUnit you need to think of your tests as objects, rather than of methods. Here is a visual representation of equivalent test setups between NUnit and xUnit... (more)

Quick-and-Easy Database Integration Tests with SpecsFor

published 70 days, 17 hours, 6 minutes ago posted by

Matt_TCF 79 days, 12 hours, 45 minutes ago

SpecsFor makes it very easy to bolt on your own conventions, create your own base classes, and extend its behavior to support your specific testing needs. I’m working on a project that’s built on LINQ to SQL, and I wanted to start creating integration tests around our stored procedures and views. Here’s the base class I made to handle establishing a database connection, loading in “seed data,” and then cleaning up after each set of specs once they’re finished. (more)

Blog Clemens Reijnen | 07. Getting Testing Done in the Sprint – Risk and Business driven Tests

published 84 days, 16 hours, 56 minutes ago posted by

ClemensReijnen 86 days, 21 hours, 1 minute ago

I really like the mindset “no risk, no test”. So, when there isn’t any business risk, there aren't any tests and is it easy to fit testing in a sprint. More realistic do a good risk analysis on your product backlog items before start writing thousands of tests. Also in scrum is risk an important attribute (more)

Running your TeamCity builds from PowerShell for any Git branch

published 101 days, 22 hours, 9 minutes ago posted by

http://laurentkempe.myopenid.com/ 109 days, 12 minutes ago

I love TeamCity and use it since a while to automate my build/release processes. As human we should never do the work a machine can do, we have certainly better and more interesting things to do. The habit I saw in the different projects I worked for is to create new TeamCity builds for the branches you work on. It take quite some work to do, even with templates… So I came with another way of doing it. It is leverage Git, PowerShell and the possibility to run TeamCity builds by “Accessing Server by HTTP” (more)

After writing about “Running your TeamCity builds from PowerShell for any Git branch” I’d like to talk about another integration which is using Github Hubot so that the build could be started directly form a chat room. So using the same idea, which is to extend our development environment, we implemented a way to start TeamCity builds directly from our HipChat room. You could do the same from Campfire for sure.

Getting Testing Done in the Sprint – No Double, Triple Testing

published 113 days, 1 hour, 7 minutes ago posted by

ClemensReijnen 116 days, 8 hours, 26 minutes ago

One way of getting testing done in a sprint is making it [testing] as efficient as possible, meanwhile this also saves money. One way of getting more efficient is not doing things double or triple. An interesting thing with testing, we do test double or triple. We test it during unit, during unit integration, during functional and during acceptance testing, this can be done better, we could save a lot of time. I’ve seen teams which also automated all these types of tests, testing the same thing... not re... (more)

Teams and TFS Groups in TFS11, the backlog, board and security settings

published 117 days, 19 hours, 9 minutes ago posted by

ClemensReijnen 121 days, 21 hours, 20 minutes ago

Beside using the new team concept in TFS11, you also just can do it the ‘old’ way. Put all your team members in the different TFS Groups (readers, contributors, … ) and give them access to the team project. Just as you did the past decade. But, you have to understand what happens when you do it. You also can mix things, create teams and only add TFS groups to it, or give people specific rights within a team… actually you can make it a complete chaos. In this post some usages scenarios.

You kids and your applications today. Back in my day, we published our applications like real men! We didn’t have these fancy, cloud-based services like Heroku and AppHarbor. We couldn’t just type ‘git push origin’ and have our application magically show up online, ready to rock and roll. We used to dread deploying our code because of all the hoops we would have to jump through. Oh, how times have changed! (more)

Status Update on SpecsFor.Mvc

SpecsFor.Mvc is an integration testing framework for ASP.NET MVC applications. It enables you to write integration tests that are strongly-typed, refactor-friendly, and that run under the testing framework of your choice, all while leveraging your existing unit test writing skills. SpecsFor.Mvc is a work-in-progress, so please take a moment to give me some feedback on how the API is shaping up. (more)
