Introduction to Unit testing with NUnit and Rhino mocks

Transcript

1. Unit Testing Prashant
2. Before we start… • Unit tests are “Code” • Not efficient to test the UI • Unit testing is not a testing activity.
3. Why unit testing? • Acts as specifications for your code / business requirements • Helps to produce better code (Readable / Maintainable) • Make you think before you write any code
4. It’s good unit test, if… • One Unit Test Class per “Class” • Each test should run in isolation • Test should be clear • Single outcome per test • Name Tests from Users Perspective – Long test method names. – Conventions
5. Demo
6. Recommendations • Use Mocking frameworks • Mark classes and Interfaces as internal • When refactoring think of architecture • Consider splitting class into multiple files • Avoid using Static classes/Methods • UI Containing non-user logic
7. Continued… • Inject dependencies and state via constructor • Avoid classes coupled to many other classes • Avoid classes coupled to concrete classes rather than interfaces
