The 3 Types of Security In Enterprise Applications(cascadeofinsights.com)

submitted by AdamBell(61) 1 year, 2 months ago

There are generally three types of security in enterprise applications: 1. Role based security - Which actions can a user do - aka role-based access control 2. Entity level security - A user can only perform an Action on certain objects/data - aka row level security 3. Field level security - A user can see or edit only certain fields of an entity – (this is really fine grained and usually a bad idea) read more...

submitted by mosessaur(5424) 1 year, 4 months ago

I highly recommend this book. No further knowledge about Entity Framework is required. So you don’t have to know anything about EF1 in order to read and gain benefit of this book. Great effort spent on this book by the authors and the publisher. You’ll get a great value with reasonable amount of money compared to the information provided in this book. read more...

Introducing Entity Framework Unit Testing with TypeMock Isolator(mosesofegypt.net)

submitted by mosessaur(5424) 2 years, 5 months ago

One of the challenging things with current version of Entity Framework, its leakage of testability. Which means when you build an application or module (e.g. Repositories) that depends on entity framework, it will be very hard to unit test your code isolated from Entity Framework. This might lead to conduct Integration Testing which will require a connection and interaction with underlying data store (database). You might think of using Mocking to mock or fake Entity Framework data store dependent calls. But sadly Moq and Rhino Mock mocking frameworks do not support this. And you’ll end up hitting the wall. Both frameworks are great useful and I personally use Moq for a while now and very happy with it. But no one can deny limitations when exist. read more...
