Typemock and .NET 1.1

Eli Lopian    Product, Release    

Although we still have many developers using Typemock in .NET 1.1, now that .NET 3.5 is out, we are going to drop the support for .NET 1.1. in our next version.

Version 4.2 will be the last version to support .NET 1.1. This will allow us to support better .NET 2.0+ features and support better type-safe programming.

Any objections?

Typemock Isolator 4.2 is released

Eli Lopian    Release    

We have released version 4.2 of Typemock Isolator, now with more features that enable shorter development cycles, higher quality of production code, better tested and more stable software components.

Typemock Isolator V4.2 introduces support of the new .NET 3.5 framework as well as Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2008. Version 4.2 has an improved IDE integration based on using colors to emphasize mocked methods making the best visualization, easiness and comfort for developers to verify their code developments.

On top, Typemock Isolator V4.2 provides full support of synergetic solutions such as Finalbuilder™ and DotTracer™ profiler, making this new release the most powerful testing framework for .NET developments ever.

“We are always seeking ways to help you simplify the development process, and our improved interface and integration with the market leading tools ensures organizations and developers with easiness, better software quality and a true saving of development expenditure”.

Typemock Isolator – Beta – Better Community

Eli Lopian    Product, Release    

The Typemock team has released our next version of TypeMock.NET.

We are calling it Typemock-Isolator. As Typemock helps developers Isolate their code from the rest of the system and make it Testable.

The main reason behind this are our plans to create more tools that will help simplify writing unit tests.

The Brain-Storming sessions behind this name where fun and we actually decided on a name, coded it in and then changed the name a few times after that (talk about agile teams). But the team took these changes really well!

Roy and Paulo have already talked about some new features.
Mainly Better Debugger Integration and Mocking Fields!!!

We have decided to add more features to our Community Edition and some features that were in the Professional Edition and can now be used in the Community Edition

1. Mocking using Generic Code Sugar

Mock mockControl = MockManager.Mock<ClassToMock>();

 

2. Integrated Visual Studio Help can now be downloaded by all Typemock-Isolator users
3. Per your request*: The annoying feedback screen while in evaluation, has been removed.

* The majority of feedbacks we received was to remove the Feedback Screen

TypeMock and Visual Studio 2008

Eli Lopian    Release    

Although we have supported visual studio 2008 since the Beta version I still think that it important to know that TypeMock supports visual studio 2008.

TypeMock is Expanding

Eli Lopian    Release    

If you are reading this you are probably the developer we are looking for.

TypeMock is expanding and we are looking for .NET developers who have a passion for Bleeding Edge Technologies like Mocking (of course), Test Driven Development and Aspect Oriented Development.

We work in a dynamic environment and we have the infrastructure to support home offices for developers who require it.

New and Noteworthy – Version 3.6.1

Eli Lopian    .NET Tests, Release

It is possible to mock ‘hidden’ methods.

This is turned off by default, call Strict=false or StrictFlags.ArbitraryMethodsAllowed to use this feature

Abstract Type Constructors can now be invoked when creating a Dynamic Mock Object from an Abstract Type
