    Getting Started with NUnit, NUnit.Should, and JustMock

    Technorati Tags: TDD,Test Driven Development,JustMock,JustCode,NUnit,NUnit.Should,Mocking Before diving into mocking with JustMock, it’s important to note that JustMock is a mocking framework, and not a testing framework.  Test frameworks allow for creating Test Fixtures, which are .NET classes decorated with the appropriate attributes so they are picked up by a Test Runner.  Test are created within a Test Fixture by writing methods (with the appropriate attributes) that exercise your code (also referred to as the System Under Test) and report the results.  Test Runners are programs that will run your tests.  There are many free testing frameworks available for .NET developers, including MSTest (included...

    [Podcast] Agile Q&A Panel on Agile Myths with Joel Semeniuk, Steve Porter and Ramiro Millan

    In the 11 years since the Agile Manifesto was created, the adoption of agile concepts has continued to grow.

This growth has been so significant that Gartner has declared that “agile is now mainstream”. Along with this growth in adoption and exploration of agile, the number of myths surrounding agile has grown as well. Listen to this episode of the Zero to Agile podcast series on Agile Myths with my guests Steve ...
