Running multiple browsers in one test run with Selenium(deanhume.com)

submitted by deanomachino(764) 1 month, 3 days ago

The beauty of Selenium is that it allows you to test your UI against all of the common browsers out there at the moment. Writing the code to test for a test scenario is quick and easy and getting up and running with Selenium can be done in a matter of minutes. Selenium works alongside Nunit and also nicely slots in with your automated build environment. read more...

Writing integration tests for ASP .NET with Selenium 2.0 – Part 2(nizarnoorani.com)

submitted by noorani786(342) 1 month, 11 days ago

This is the second in a series of posts on writing integration tests for ASP .NET using the Selenium 2.0 web application testing system. In this post, I’ll go over how to write and run C# test-cases using Selenium 2.0. I’ve also provided a base-class that contains helper methods for repetitive stuff like typing inside input fields. The base-class also speeds up the tests by re-using the same driver and preserving logins across tests. read more...

xUnit Theory, the Data Driven Unit Test(www.tomdupont.net)

submitted by tdupont(1259) 1 month, 13 days ago

A good set of unit tests often end up reusing the same code with varied inputs. Rather than copy and paste that test code over and over, we can use the pattern of data driven unit tests to help streamline our test fixtures. This is the practice of having a single test definition be invoked and count as multiple tests at run time. This also enables us to do other dynamic things, such as configuring our unit tests from external sources. :) I love NUnit, but it does not offer data driven unit tests. I frequently use MSTest, but it's data driven tests inconveniently require you to define a DataSource. Meanwhile xUnit offers several lightweight and simple options for defining data driven tests, which it refers to as theories. read more...

Migrating from NUnit to xUnit(www.tomdupont.net)

submitted by tdupont(1259) 1 month, 19 days ago

If you are currently using NUnit to write your unit tests, then it is not at all difficult to migrate to using xUnit. The philosophical difference between the two is simply this: with xUnit you need to think of your tests as objects, rather than of methods. Here is a visual representation of equivalent test setups between NUnit and xUnit... read more...

From Legacy to Dependency Injection(blogs.telerik.com)

submitted by KodefuGuru(2818) 1 month, 22 days ago

We’ve all encountered tightly-bound code, and our first instinct is to correct it. However, there are only so many hours in a sprint, and it’s not always convenient to go on a large refactoring spree when the backlog is filling up. With JustMock, you can still ensure the code works, and it will set you up for the cleaning that will take place at a ... read more...

Quick-and-Easy Database Integration Tests with SpecsFor(trycatchfail.com)

submitted by Matt_TCF(946) 2 months, 21 days ago

SpecsFor makes it very easy to bolt on your own conventions, create your own base classes, and extend its behavior to support your specific testing needs. I’m working on a project that’s built on LINQ to SQL, and I wanted to start creating integration tests around our stored procedures and views. Here’s the base class I made to handle establishing a database connection, loading in “seed data,” and then cleaning up after each set of specs once they’re finished. read more...
