Unit Testing Collections
I have written about Lowering the friction of Unit testing, and how using Aspect Faking we can lower the friction of testing collections
The problem
Unit testing collections can be a bit tricky. Lets see some code and unit test this Sum() method:
public List<Salary> Salaries { get; }
public float Sum()
{
float total = 0;

Lowering the friction of Unit testing
At Typemock we have been learning allot about our customers lately and understanding where the friction is so that we can make unit testing even easier and maintainable.
What we are succeeding in doing is to lower the density of the tests (this means less code in each test) and raise the test resilient (this […]
Typemock embraces SharePoint
We have been getting a lot of traction from the SharePoint development community about the ease that Typemock Isolator helps unit test SharePoint Applications.
The Practices and Patterns Group in Microsoft have released a SharePoint Guidance that you can download the November 2008 version here. Typemock Isolator is being used as the primary isolating tool.

Ruby Style Isolating - Aspect Faking
I have talked in the past about Ruby Style Isolating (Dynamically Typed), now it is part of the AAA syntax.
The big value of this feature is that you don’t have to inherit a type in order to replace it with a fake, the downfall of this is that when you refactor your code, you […]
Future of Unit Testing and Economics
Euan Garden managed the PDC 2008 Panel Session on the Future of Unit Testing, and Andrew has made a short summary.
Unit Test => (Automated) Developers Tests
An interesting thought that come from listening to this panel is that there is a confusion about what unit tests are and I agree that we should really call it […]
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 […]
