Doing BDD, when expecting an exception

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 06:42:17 GMT

I really like the look of my tests specifications, they read almost like plain English. After fumbling around for a while, I finally get how to specify an expected exception.

Doing BDD

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 21:06:40 GMT

Basically it a shift towards specifying behavior instead of testing behavior. The specification consists of 3 parts: 1: A namespace with called "Specs_for_subject" 2: One or more classes called "When_operation_on_state", with a SetUp/Init method that performs the "operation_on_state" 3: One or more methods called "Should_expectation"

Test Supported Development (TSD) is not Test Driven Development (TDD)

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 20:38:20 GMT

"Test Supported Development" (TSD) intends to characterize the creation of tests during ANY/ALL stages of development, that is, tests are not necessarily created before their respective System Under Test (SUT), but not necessarily created as an afterthought, either...

Specter enables behavior driven development (BDD) by allowing developers to write executable specifications for their objects, before actually implementing them. This new release brings many improvement, including standalone spec runners (along with better NUnit integration) and a new 'subject' macro.

BDD Macro and Template Usage screencast

Sat, 01 Dec 2007 18:33:48 GMT

What timing I just finished reading JP's blog about how he paired with Scott Bellware and modified his Macro for BDD. Well, while they were busy doing that I decided to make a screencast on some modifications I did to JP's initial macro. I extended his macro in concert with some ReSharper templates I use to show just how to take advantage of BDD. Funny thing is I extended it to do the same thing he and Scott did but I added a little flare to it :-) Take a look at the screen cast to see what I mean.

Learn the new NUnit 2.4 Constraint-Based Assert Model

Mon, 20 Aug 2007 07:57:25 GMT

Instead of using a different Assert method for each different type of assertion (e.g.: Assert.AreEqual() for equality comparison, or Assert.IsTrue() for boolean evaluation), the new Constraint-Based Assert Model introduced in NUnit 2.4 utilizes only one Assert method named Assert.That().

Attempting to Demystify Behavior Driven Development

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 05:46:02 GMT

After receiving several emails and reading Roy Osherove's post on Behave#, I wanted to give more incite and answer some questions that were asked about Behave# and BDD in general.

More BDD xBehave Madness!

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 01:16:02 GMT

Well over the past week or so I have been working off and on with improving the usage of NUnit.Behave. It started off being tightly coupled with NUnit since you actually had to inherit an abstract fixture that exposed the "Given, When, Then" BDD constructs. With a bit of tinkering with C# generics and some fluent interface magic, I managed to decouple the code into its own, dare I say, framework.

Behavior Driven Development Using NUnit-Next Steps

Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:46:01 GMT

Oren Eini left a comment on a recent post I did on Behavior Driven Development. At first the questions seemed very easy and I thought I would be able to answer it within 15 minutes but as pondered the different possibilities of answering the question, I wanted to make sure that I gave an answer that was true to BDD as it relates to C#. A day later, I finally came up with one but in the process I learned a great deal about the value of "context" and "behavior", so I wanted to take this time to share what I have learned.
