Recently while working on an open source .NET project,
I forgot to update the .nuspec after changing a package
dependency in my project.json. Of course the resulting nupkg
contained the wrong dependency. Fortunately, the package
wasn't published in that state, but I didn't want to risk such a thing …
Earlier this week at the day job I ran into an interesting problem working with a DataTable. A view that's supposed to show a subset of the table's rows showed nothing. I dropped into the debugger and became even more confused.
Visually inspecting the DataTable showed that there was a …
A while back, Roman Turovskyy wrote FakeItEasy: Be Careful When Wrapping an Existing Object, an interesting post highlighting some of the difficulties of faking classes (as opposed to interfaces, which by virtue of having no behaviour of their own, are quite a bit more predictable). It's well-written and I enjoyed …
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the problems that FakeItEasy's
assembly scanning was causing while it was looking for user-defined extensions. To recap,
FakeItEasy was scanning all assemblies in the AppDomain and the
working directory, looking for types that implemented
IArgumentValueFormatter, IDummyDefinition, or
IFakeConfigurator. This process was quite slow …
Hi again. At the Day Job, we've recently dropped Typemock Isolator and NMock2 as the mocking frameworks of choice in the products that I work on. We've jumped on the FakeItEasy bandwagon. So far, we're enjoying the change. FakeItEasy is powerful enough and the concepts and syntax fit the mind …
This is the gala awards show, where my chosen coverage tool is announced.
If you've come this far, you've probably already read the title, and it won't surprise you to learn that I've chosen OpenCover. It offered the best fit for my requirements - the only areas where I found it …

I tried NCover 3.4.18.6937.
NCover Complete is $479 plus $179 for a 1-year subscription (which gives free version updates). I thought this was a little steep. NCover Classic is $199/$99. I looked at NCover Complete, because that's the kind of trial version they …
OpenCover is developed by Shaun Wilde. He was a developer on (and is the only remaining maintainer of) PartCover. He's used what he learned working on PartCover to develop OpenCover, but OpenCover is a new implementation, not a port.
I tried OpenCover 1.0.514. Since I downloaded a couple …
PartCover has a GUI runner as well as a command-line mode. It integrates with Isolator, but doesn't offer any help for those wanting to profile IIS-hosted applications. There are some XSL files provided that allow one to generate HTML reports, but probably the better way is to use …
I tried JetBrains dotCover 1.1, integrated with ReSharper 5.1 running in VS2008.
A lifetime license, with 1 year of free upgrades is $199 $149 - a special introductory price.
This isn't usurious, but considering that ReSharper C# edition, a tool that changes the way I work every …
