Welcome to part two of our series on building a Windows application using test-driven development (TDD). In the previous article we drove the design of our entity classes and data access layer by means of unit tests. The unit tests acted more as specifications for the system rather than tests, since...

In a hot discussion thread in msforums.ph about the value of unit testing and adopting test-driven development (TDD), a suggestion was made to illustrate how TDD is used in creating a simple application, specifically Keith's October code challenge . In response to that, I've decided to write...

JP Hamilton has posted a brief blog post on how he unit tests WinForms . Looks nifty, especially if you use a pattern like Model-View-Presenter for your forms. His rationale is that if you keep on testing only the presenter and mocking out the view in your unit tests, your forms code still gets zero...

See the official announcement from Andy's blog here . You can download the bits here . Nudge to smash , try it and you'll love it.

i agree that incorporating code coverage criteria in your build scripts is very restrictive, but you have no choice if your team is just starting out doing tdd or writing plain automated unit tests. how can you force them to learn to write automated unit tests if you will not be pressuring them? without...

Man, oh Man, oh Man! Another timesaver to add in my development toolbox. Jerry Jarell has just released NStub which is a Unit Test Generator for .NET Assemblies and man it looks really promising. From the site: NStub is a unit test generator for .NET assemblies. You simply point NStub at the assembly...

By practicing Test Driven Development (TDD), developers will do their best to improve their code without the fear that is normally associated with code changes . It will boost developer’s confidence that the integrity of the code is in place. Writing tests provides another form of “living document” because...

My TDD adventure keeps on surprising me dayafterday, I started to lessen the use VS studio debugger and I felt an increased productivity by not having a full build just for testing a single feature in code. With TestDriven.NET plugin installed it was pretty cool. I create a test for a feature, run the...

I've been struggling on these past few days doing some unit testing and tdd. hell yeah im starting to love it and now am still waiting for a new project so i can give it a real taste, bitter eh ;). But first i did a search and Jeremy Miller has always been very helpful to me. Not just on testing but...

If you're looking for some guidelines in writing unit tests, i found roy osherove 's compilation to be really helpful. Refer to his Testing Guidelines tag in his blog for archive. I am currently following his test naming guideline - Test name should include name of tested method or class. The said token...
