Let’s have a close look into the Red-Green-Refactor cycle and understand the subtleties of each step. When we go down the rabbit hole of Test Driven Design (TDD), we sometimes take too big steps leading us to many failed tests we just can bring back to green without writing a lot of code. We need to take a step back and take the shrinking potion of baby steps again.

Pragmatic Unit Testing in C++

November 3, 2014 0

Successful adoption of unit testing in C++ goes beyond picking a framework: The effectiveness of unit testing is dependent on run-time analysis, static analysis, and other tools to make up the “iron triangle” necessary to get profitable increases in feature velocity and MTBF in the field.

Unit Testing with Microsoft Fakes

October 24, 2014 0

Creating good, effective unit tests in .NET can be harder than it seems. In some cases, the code is designed so that isolating one component from another is easy. However, in most other cases, achieving this isolation is very difficult. First included in Visual Studio 2012, Microsoft Fakes helps you cross this gap.

Custom Assertions In Tests
