    Mocking the Data Access Layer with Telerik OpenAccess ORM

    Unit testing the DAL has always resulted in a debate: whether to mock or not the Data Access Layer. Indeed, there are cases were the DAL cannot be legally tested without hitting the real production database (requires integration testing). The goal behind that is to assure us of the behavior of some database server specific features like primary key generation, handling schema alternations with pre-populated data, triggers, etc.. However for testing the Business Logic Layer , the validation logic or the presentation layer, it is fair to say that accessing the database is...

    Handling concurrent database operations with Telerik OpenAccess ORM

    What usually is of great importance to developers that use ORM tools, are issues related to concurrent updates or deletes that can potentially cause a valuable loss of data, and how the ORM framework handles the cases. Because of the state-less nature of HTTP the object-scope is re-initialized on every postback. That is an operation on its own, future blog-posts will cover some of the best practices approaches to object scope life-cycle management. The problem with stateless scenarios is that all change-tracking that the object-scope does for us in a desktop scenario is lost on every postback so there is a...
