LibraryHippo 2020 - Unit Tests

Now that I've completed all my spikes and decided to move forward, I'd like to add a little more rigour to the project. Original LibraryHippo had a comprehensive suite of unit tests and I'll port them over (and perhaps augment them with integration tests). Today I'll add the first unit …

Hasty Impressions: NCover

[TOC]

I tried NCover 3.4.18.6937.

The Cost

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 …

Hasty Impressions: OpenCover

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 …

Hasty Impressions: PartCover

Technical stuff

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 …

Hasty Impressions: dotCover 1.1

I tried JetBrains dotCover 1.1, integrated with ReSharper 5.1 running in VS2008.

The Cost

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 …

Can you cover me? Looking for a .NET coverage tool

Recently at the Day Job, my boss's boss has been on a "code confidence" kick. We've always done various levels of automated and manual unit, integration, issue, system, and regression testing, but he's looking to improve the process. Part of this push involves getting better at measuring which tests exercise …

Growing an MVVM Framework in 2003, part IV—Unit Tests

AutoTest.Net updated - now (and then) notices broken builds

I received a useful comment on Friday's post about AutoTest.Net. In the wee hours of Saturday, Greg Young, wrote to say

It should detect broken builds without any problem. We have been running it daily for about 1.5 months.
Perhaps you could grab me via email and reproduce …

Hasty impressions: Continuous testing using AutoTest.NET

Rinat Abdullin recently posted about Mighty Moose and AutoTest.NET, two projects for continuous testing in the .NET/Mono space. My interest was immediately piqued, as I'm a huge fan of continuous testing. I've been using py.test to run my Python unit tests for years now, almost solely because …

Auto-deploying TypeMock Isolator Without Trashing the Installation

At the Day Job, we use TypeMock Isolator as the isolation framework for the client portion of our flagship product. Historically we'd used version 3, but recently I had the opportunity to upgrade the code and build system to use the 2010 (or "version 6") edition.

Backward Compatibility

I was …

Automated Testing using App Engine Service APIs (and a Memcaching Memoizer)

I'm a fan of Test-driven development, and automated testing in general. As such, I’ve been trying ensure that the LibraryHippo code has an adequate set of automated tests before deploying new versions.

Importing Google App Engine Modules

Unfortunately, testing code that relies on the Google App Engine SDK is …
