.NET software testing tutorials: unit testing, open source, NUnit, SpecFlow, Visual Studio, etc.
Many developers are not aware of all of the debugging features in Visual Studio, because debugging in Visual Studio “just works.” This article provides an overview of debugging features of Visual Studio that are often ignored by developers like actions in the Breakpoints window or data visualizers. It also discusses external tools and third-party tools you can add to your debugging toolkit.
Dealing with dependencies is the most challenging aspect of test-driven development (TDD). Mocks and stubs are created to isolate the behavior we would like to test. The article “The Art of Mocking” is a good introduction on this topic. Creating all these testing classes by hand can lead to troubles: sometimes developers duplicate these classes and other times the mocks and stubs become more complicated than the code.
This video provides an introduction to the NUnit. NUnit is a unit-testing framework for all .Net languages. It is written entirely in C# and has been completely redesigned to take advantage of many .NET language features, for example custom attributes and other reflection related capabilities. The video covers what is NUnit, how to set it up, creating a test class and running tests.
A quick look at using Visual Studio 2010 with NUnit and Silk4NET to create unit tests. We will also be using SilkCentral Test Manager to start from a manual test and automate it with Silk4NET.
Writing unit tests for your C# code can be time-consuming. This article proposes approaches that can make writing unit tests easier and more efficient for C# programmers.
This article explains how to perform HTTP request-response tests of ASP.NET Web applications using IronPython, a .NET Framework-compliant implementation of Python.
A 14-part series of articles describing the use of automated unit testing techniques for the C# programmer. The tutorial includes the use of NUnit and Moq but is also relevant for other testing frameworks.
