I just want to quickly point out a tool that I?ve been playing with for a couple of days now, named AutoTest.NET. Its an open-source tool that originates from a popular tool in the Ruby community called ZenTest, which basically runs all your valuable unit tests when you save your source files or when you […]
Read MoreIt is not enough to just write code that is clean and self-documenting.? Eliminating comments and replacing them with clear variable and method names, will tell the reader of your code clearly what it is doing, but it will not properly express why it is doing it. If you recall from my original post on […]
Read MoreIn my previous posts, I showed the syntax for context/specifications using Machine.Specifications (or MSpec for short) and how to use an auto mocking container in conjunction with this excellent Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) framework. For this post, I want to show you one of the nice features of MSpec called behaviors. Suppose we have to create […]
Read MoreIn my previous post, I explained how to get started with Machine.Specifications (or MSpec for short) and showed you how the syntax for context/specifications looks like when using this BDD framework. For this post, I want to show you how to use an auto mocking container (we?ll be using the one provided by StructureMap off […]
Read MoreIts been a while since I evaluated and evolved my approach to BDD. The way I?ve been doing BDD up until now is described in this blog post which goes way back to 2008. Everyone has kind of their own style nowadays. Below you can find the code of two context/specifications for a method named […]
Read MoreWhat is an Auto Mocking Container? This post started to get a little long, so I won?t re-explain the concept. Joshua Flanagan wrote a nice overview at his Los Techies blog: Auto mocking Explained. My post is mainly here to describe the Unity version of an automocking container I threw together. In Jan 2009 I […]
Read MoreAlthough I made a very minor attempt at making StatLight a “for-sale” product, I knew when I started that open-source was most likely going to be my long term path for StatLight. What is it? (Silverlight Testing Automation Tool) StatLight is a tool developed for automating the setup, running, and gathering results of Silverlight unit […]
Read MoreUPDATE: I apologize…the original wrapper did not allow injected dependencies. I have fixed this bug and updated the sample.
I have been using StructureMap.AutoMocking with MSpec (Machine.Specifications) and Rhino.Mocks for a few months now. Although I am very comfortable with the patterns that emerge from using the frameworks together, introducing StructureMap.Automocking to other developers is sometimes challenging. I decided to wrap the details of the container to make the intention clearer and explanation easier. I have started using this wrapper in my projects, and have found it makes building up specifications more efficient in my daily coding.
