ASP.NET MVC TDD using Visual Studio 2010 (blog.maartenballiauw.be)

published 7 months, 30 days ago, submitted by maartenba(5585) 7 months, 30 days ago

Phil Haack announced yesterday that the tooling support for ASP.NET MVC is available for Visual Studio 2010. Troy Goode already blogged about the designer snippets (which are really really cool, just like other parts of the roadmap for ASP.NET MVC 2.0). I’ll give the new TDD workflow introduced in VS2010 a take. read more...

A Software Craftsman’s 200$ Bookshelf Upgrade! (blog.goeran.no)

submitted by GOEran(380) 8 months, 12 days ago

About three weeks ago, I asked my readers and some people in the Norwegian developer community about what books they have in their bookshelf. The response was good, and I ended up with many good book recommendations. Today I placed a new order on Amazon, and spent 200$ to upgrade my bookshelf. If you read further, you’ll see which books I ordered. read more...

Redefining ALT.NET or rather, rediscovering it’s meaning (blog.decayingcode.com)

submitted by arch4ngel(540) 8 months, 15 days ago

I’ve heard about ALT.NET about a year ago. At first, I thought that it was about using alternatives to Microsoft or to avoid Microsoft software. ALT.NET was supposed to be about going “alternative” and being against “The Man” and being for “The People”. Well, I must agree that I wasn’t totally right with that. I mean, Microsoft make some mess but it also does a lot of great tools and particularly a great IDE with lots of extensibility point. Then, I did what I should have done in the beginning. I looked up the definition. read more...

Unit testing WCF services through dependency injection (www.toomuchcode.com)

submitted by Jemm(9400) 8 months, 22 days ago

"When building a WCF service in an enterprise application, this service frequently depends on other services or resources. When creating unit tests for this service, we don’t want to host all these other services over WCF endpoints. Instead we will most likely want to inject mock objects. In some case we may even want to inject some in-process instances of these other services." read more...

Kona: Continuous Integration and Better Unit Testing (blog.wekeroad.com)

published 9 months, 27 days ago, submitted by johnrummell(1255) 10 months ago

In this screencast Rob Conery and Brad Wilson talk about continuous integration with TeamCity, Unit Testing with xUnit and TDD in general. "This screencast went from a simple idea – talking to Brad Wilson about better Unit Testing – to some pretty broad topics such as source control, unit testing, and continuous integration. I seriously could have written a whole book based on the stuff flying through my mind. I reigned it in a bit and decided to focus on two things that I don’t think get enough press: writing a good Unit Test coupled with Continuous Integration." read more...

DDD & TDD using EF, Part 2.A Unit Testing Entities With Moq3 (mosesofegypt.net)

submitted by mosessaur(5050) 10 months, 15 days ago

I had few previous posts about DDD & TDD with Entity Framework that you might need to return to them before you proceed with this post. To summarize these posts, I was trying to build testable Models that is based on EF. But EF doesn't support Persistence Ignorance in its first version which make testing it in most cases require a database connection where you can test you code against it. My target was to build a testable models based on EF and that is independent of any underlying data source. read more...

Eliminating ToList().ForEach() by TDD and Extensions Methods (www.bengtbe.com)

submitted by bengtbe(450) 11 months, 1 day ago

Following "Program to an interface, not an implementation", you should use IList instead of List. However, you then lose access to some great delegate methods of the List class (e.g. ForEach, ConvertAll). In order to use them you have to first call ToList(). In this post I will use Test Driven Development (TDD) to add these as extension methods to the generic IEnumerable interface, elimintating the need to call ToList(). read more...
