| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Integrating the #WebAPI HttpClient and ApiController in a single test 'In the two previous blog posts I showed how to unit test and ASP.NET WebAPI controller and how to unit test the client side code depending on the HttpClient class. Both unit tests are perfectly valid but as so often just adding unit tests can be deceptive. After all testing an ApiController by just calling the methods makes it perfectly possible to call them in such a way that would never be possible using a real HTTP request. When testing the client code in the previous blog post we already used this fact. 1: [TestMethod].

The Problem Solver - Monday, May 27, 2013 Testing triangles, pyramids and circles, and UAT 'A few months ago Markus Gartner introduced me to the Testing Triangle, or Testing Pyramid. It looks like this: If you Google you will find a few slightly different version and some go by the name of Testing Pyramid. This triangle is actually pretty similar to a diagram I’ve been drawing for a while when I do Agile training: But it occurs to me the triangle should be pushed to the side, and when you do that you can add some axis which add more information: At the base the, Unit Tests, there are lots and lots of tests and they typically execute in milliseconds.

| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - 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.

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 %>
