    Resolving Compatibility Issue Between JustCode and MSpec

    [Cross posted from www.skimedic.com/blog] Telerik’s JustCode natively supports several test runners, including MSpec. This is great - the JustCode product team has taken on the responsibility to make sure the test runner works with the test frameworks, letting the framework developers focus on building even more awesome frameworks! Occasionally, this can cause an issue, though, as we just discovered here at CodeMash. The latest rev of MSpec introduced breaking changes in the JustCode test runner. While the team is hard at work updating the test runner to be compatible with the latest api, the work around is very simple. Simply change the Copy...

    Mocking Exceptions and Events with JustMock Free Edition

We modify the LoginUser method to throw a custom exception when there is an exception is thrown from the LoginService.  To test this,...

    Sequential and Recursive Mocking with JustMock Free Edition

    [Cross Posted from http://www.skimedic.com/blog] Sequential Mocking One of the trickiest types of code to mock out for testing is recursive methods.  In a typical recursion, the same method is called multiple times, and each time there are typically different parameters passed in, and different return values.  To easily handle this, JustMock gives you two options: Adding InSequence() to each arrange Chaining Returns() calls together. To illustrate the first option, look at the following test: [Test] public void Show_Sequential_InSequence_Arrange_Option() { var service = Mock.Create<IService>(); Mock.Arrange(() => service.GetSum(Arg.AnyInt, Arg.AnyInt)) .Returns(4).InSequence(); Mock.Arrange(()...

    Introducing JustMock Free Edition

    [Cross posted from .NET Musings] Technorati Tags: mocking,.NET,Testing,TDD,BDD,JustMock,Telerik Today Telerik launched a free edition of it’s commercial mocking tool, JustMock Free Edition.  The commercial version of JustMock has been out now for a while, and brings incredible power to the table, such as mocking sealed and static classes, non-public members and types, as well as many more features.  For more information on the commercial version of JustMock, see  http://www.telerik.com/products/mocking.aspx. I do a lot of testing.  I am addicted to TDD/BDD, and can’t live without a mocking tool. The new (or “greenfield”) code that I develop is based on interfaces, SOLID, etc., and I don’t always...

    Recently, while i was working with a support issue, I found this interesting piece of test code that i would like to share here. This is actually written by Stefan Lieser (clean code developer from Germany forwarded to me by Jan from Telerik Germany).
