Configuring MVC Bundles with NuGet(www.tomdupont.net)

submitted by tdupont(1259) 4 days, 13 hours ago

MvcBundleConfig is a very simple project that adds configuration and debugging features to MVC 4's bundling framework. Once you create a new MVC4 web application and install the MvcBundleConfig NuGet Package, then you need only update our layout to use the new bundle extension methods, and you are ready to go! 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, 18 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...

submitted by tdupont(1259) 1 month, 26 days ago

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

submitted by tdupont(1259) 3 months, 16 days 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...
