Sharing a WebDriver across TestFixtures(www.tomdupont.net)

submitted by tdupont(1163) 9 hours, 10 minutes ago

WebDriver (also known as Selenium 2.0) is a web testing tool that is both useful and easy, which is a very rare find. If you are doing web development with ASP.NET, you need to take 30 minutes of your time and go try out WebDriver. That is all the time it will take to get you hooked. To launch a browser you need only new up a Driver object for that browser. I used to create a new Driver in my TestFixtureSetup, and then close and dispose of that in the testFixtureTearDown. However now that Firefox does not persist my windows login credentials it can be very frustrating to have to log back in for every test fixture. A solution to this problem is simply to share a single WebDriver across multiple TestFixtures. Fortunately NUnit's SetUpFixture makes this very easy to do. read more...

Testing DI bootstrappers(jclaes.blogspot.com)

submitted by JefClaes(536) 5 days, 21 hours ago

While your Dependency Injection bootstrappers - being responsible for gluing your application together - are a vital part of your application, they are seldom put under test. I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be though. The cost of these tests is negligible, definitely if you compare it to the cost of the often catastrophical outcome of bugs in your bootstrappers. read more...

Guilt Driven Development(tatiyants.com)

submitted by atatiyan(112) 1 month ago

Do you want to use Test Driven Development in your daily work but lack the necessary motivation? Do you have the nagging feeling that TDD could use more nagging to make you get things done? If this describes you, then you should definitely consider Guilt Driven Development. GDD is a powerful new technique based on one of the strongest motivating forces known to man: guilt. It works by forcing you to create promises to it and then guilts you into keeping them. read more...
