    Mocking MsCorlib members

    In this post , I will show how you can mock  members from MsCorlib. This is more of an introductory post and shows what you need to do in order to successfully mock an MsCorlib member. If you are planning to mock File or DateTime then the process is pretty straight forward , you just need to put a MockClassAttribute on top your test class. The process for intercepting  such is bit different as we don’t want to get your code through the particular logic for every other type and make your test slower. Therefore, we limit it to an attribute declaration to mark...

    Stir Trek Wrap Up

    Stir Trek was awesome. Where else can you get a full day of great content *and* watch Thor, all as part of one conference? Phil gave a new talk on "Testing Legacy Code" that covered the patterns and tools needed to effectively work with software that is not adequately covered by unit or integration test. The slides and source code can be downloaded from his blog. He also demonstrated the features of JustMock (both the Free Edition and the Commercial Edition) during lunch as a vendor session, and the full version can be seen on Telerik TV.              Above are photos of the Thor display from the lobby and Phil...

    Test Studio Now Supports Desktop Testing. See it Firsthand at the Release Webinar

    As you might have already heard, Telerik shipped a new version of its automated testing tools last week. The release introduced the long-awaited support for testing WPF applications, as well as many other essential features, most of them requested by you, the customers. R1 2011 boosts the tools reporting capabilities, adds translators for pretty much all of the generic Microsoft WPF controls as well as most of the RadControls for WPF, and features a brand-new, richer and much simplified FindExpression UI. You’ll be happy to find out that we also added: support for Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4; run test...
