- Significant Advances in Unit Testing Windows Workflow
This post describes a unit testing library for testing Windows Workflow Foundations. Rather it's a library that can be used in conjunction with any of these testing frameworks. Download the library with sample test project here: Kennedy.WorkflowTesting.zip (216 KB). First a Little History: Last September I posted this teaser entitled Unit Testing Coming to a Workflow Near You. In that previous post, I highlighted what I could determine to be the current state-of-the-art with regard to unit testing workflows, circa September 2008.
Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Sunday, January 18, 2009 - Article: Avoiding 5 Common Pitfalls in Unit Testing
Llewellyn Falco and I recently wrote an article for DevelopMentor's Developments newsletter entitled Avoiding 5 Common Pitfalls in Unit Testing. Avoiding 5 Common Pitfalls in Unit Testing. When I started out with unit tests, I was enthralled with the promise of ease and security that they would bring to my projects. In practice, however, the theory of sustainable software through unit tests started to break down. Unit Tests have become more trouble than they are worth.". When tests would stop working, we just ignored them.
Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Thursday, August 6, 2009 - Unit Testing Coming to a Workflow Near You
[Update: See the follow up post "Significant Advances in Unit Testing Windows Workflow" ]. However you won't find very much support for Test Driven Development (TDD) or unit testing in general. In fact the architecture that makes Windows Workflow powerful (strict separation of workflow, activities, and the host for example) really gets in the way of unit tests. There has been some work done on unit testing Windows Workflows. Here's some links: Unit Testing Activities with Windows Workflow Foundation by Ron Jacobs.
Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Tuesday, September 30, 2008 - TDD Invades Space Invaders
As a follow-up to our " Avoiding 5 Common Pitfalls in Unit Testing " article we did a webcast where we took a problem from the audience and solved it live and unrehearsed on stage. The thing to remember is that all of this was done for the sole purpose of creating a recipe for a scenario we could test. Create a new test project. We made it to step 4 during our presentation (download code below) and estimate another 15 minutes would have had the whole scenario done, tested, and well-factored.

Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - Test-Driven Cameras
wish people had this same reaction to the idea of writing code without first writing tests (TDD). Tests give you the chance: To see what you are going to write, BEFORE you write it. If you haven’t already, here’s a great place to start learning to Test-Driven Development ? If you are already writing tests, here’s a free library to make test even easier to write? Unit Testing TDDI am getting old. The other day I was hanging around with my friend, Ike Ellis. He told me a story about his kids. The first question they asked was “Where is the picture?”
DevelopMentor Courses - Wednesday, September 7, 2011 - Unit testing a ASP.NET WebAPI controller
Testing a simple ApiController that gets data Suppose we have the following ASP.NET WebAPI Controller with two Get methods, the first returns the complete list of books and the second returns the book with the requested ID. Testing the Get() method. The Get() method that returns all books is easy enough to test. Testing the Get(id) method. Testing for getting with an invalid ID is equally simple: 1: [TestMethod]. Testing an HTTP PUT operation. Testing an update using an HTTP put is just as simple as a testing a get action. 8: 9: }. 11: {.
The Problem Solver - Sunday, May 12, 2013 - Unity, Multiple Constructors and Configuration
However to make Unit Testing simple I’ll add another constructor to MyService so I can pass a specific timeout. Tags: NET;IoC;Unit Testing I’ve been working with the Unity IoC container from Microsoft Patterns and Practices recently. Its mostly straightforward as IoC containers go but one thing had me puzzled for a while as its not really documented or blogged as far as I can see; so I decided to blog it so hopefully others looking will stumble across this article. 1: public interface IService. 3: void DoWork(); 4: }. 1: public interface IRepository. and MyService.
.NET Meanderings - Monday, June 7, 2010 - Test Driven Development, Approval Testing, and a Song – Oh Boy!
So my buddies Dan Gilkerson and Llewellyn Falco have been doing some brilliant, ground breaking work on advancing the state of unit testing and TDD with a concept they call Approval Testing. To highlight the transition from unit testing -> … Continue reading → Agile Video.NET unit testing
Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Wednesday, January 7, 2009 - Learning more about Unit Testing
I just had an email in my inbox recommending "The Art of Unit testing" by Roy Osherove. I've been doing unit testing for a long time, but since I'm largely self-taught I can probably learn something. know all the basics, I feel the biggest challenge with unit testing larger applications is managing test data. guess I’ll put in another order at Amazon. :-). Perhaps I’ll even sign up for a course at DevelopMentor.
The Blomsma Code - Thursday, May 27, 2010 - Complete Unit Testing
vBlogged my thoughts here: I'm using the LegacyApprovals package (which I wrote, download below) here to test every combination of the possible parameters. It's design to test a lot of cases, but not every case. Links: Approval Tests (Legacy Approvals is part of the standard ApprovalTest download.) Today I had a conversation with @WoodZuill where an extremely rare situation came up. situation where you can practice TDD with Completeness of the possible user scenarios. It's worth pointing out this is NOT what the LegacyApprovals package was actually made for.
