Mocking frameworks - dream feature
There are some developers SHOUTING, that mocking static and non-virtual methods is a big No-No. Roy, is calling them dogmatic.
Come on guys, the most requested feature from Rhino.Mocks is the ability to mock non-virtual and static members, and Oren has even implemented these when possible (MarshalByRef Objects). I am sure that if it was easy, […]
Ruby Style Mocking in .NET
I had a great discussion with a college about the difficulties of understanding the technical parts of the automated Mocking frameworks.
The one point that takes some time to grasp is the fact that methods are written within the test that are not actually called, but are stubs/mocks that will be called at a later […]
Why Typemock-Isolator for TDD?
There is a long discussion in the ALT.NET group about TDD and Typemock, it is very interesting and I suggest that you read the thread.
Benefits of TDD
Although the benefits of using TDD are inconclusive, here are some benefits attributed to using TDD:
Developers write more tests
Tests use the API, so developers can get early feedback on […]
Decorator feature enhancement
[Cross Posted in TypeMock Insider Blog]
Typemock-Isolator has a little know Decorator feature that allows developers to simply add capabilities to their test framework (all test framework).
Using this feature Typemock-Isolator creates the [VerifyMocks] decorator that automatically verifies the mocks at the end of your tests.
To create a custom decorator simply extend the DecoratorAttribute and […]

Dependency Injection with TypeMock
The has been some buzz about Dependency Injection lately (here is another thread). But I want to actually show how TDD with TypeMock can lead to a DI solution, and how the tests will step by step naturally lead to the DI solution when the business features require it.
Lets start with a very simple example […]
Great Time in Tech Ed Barcelona
We had a great time in Barcelona, The TechEd team has done it again and have created a top-notch conference. Apart from not being able to get tickets to the Barcelona Football match, we practically had everything made out for us.
We had some really good talks and met up with great people from the industry. […]
TypeMock is a Silver Bullet
During the TechEd in Bacelona, I overheard developers talking about TDD and Mocking. Then I heard one of them say that TypeMock is a Silver Bullet, it can just help you solve all your mocking problems. I love that, thanks guys.

Roys Test Name Convention
I just loved the way Roy explained how developers normally name their tests without really thinking about them. for example SumNegitiveNumber5 (yup, I have been down that road before) and his naming convention really make sense.
But what I really liked was the template he wrote and how the Tab key browses through the three […]
Rollback for database testing
Roy Osherove had a good speak in TechEd Barcelona 2007, about using the roll back attribute for database testing, and it works really well, keeping the test case isolated. Except in cases where the production code ignores transactions that are higher up in the hierarchy. This will happen if the TransactionOption is RequiresNew
Roy suggested […]
