In the process, I've revamped some of the downloads I've made available to date with some documentation and a face lift. **XT-Unit** XtUnit is a unit testing extension for .Net based frameworks. It uses the interception application block to provide runtime abilities of rolling back any changes that were made to the database during Data related unit tests. - [Download the XtUnit source code](http://teamagile.com/Downloads/TeamAgile.XtUnit.Src.zip) - [Download the XtUnit dll](http://teamagile.com/Downloads/TeamAgile.XtUnit.Bin.zip) - [Learn more about XTUnit in this early article](https://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/10/05/238201.aspx) (which points to an older version) - **Interception Application Block** The interception application block allows the developer to easily add interception abilities to various classes in the framework. It's as easy as inheriting from a class and overriding two methods. - [Download the Interception Application Block](http://teamagile.com/Downloads/TeamAgile.ApplicationBlocks.Interception.zip) - [Learn more about the interception block in this early article](https://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/10/12/241068.aspx) (which points to an older version) - **Extensibility Application Block** The extensibility block provides basic classes and means to load and search for plugins for your application. Using it you can just use search classes and loader classes that make the best use of reflection and loading behavior on the .NET platform to create a truly pluggable application. - [Download EAP 1.0](https://osherove.com/LinkClick.aspx?link=http%3a%2f%2fTeamAgile.com%2fDownloads%2feap10.zip) - Learn more about Extensibility [here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/community/authors/royosherove/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/pluginframework.asp) and [here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/community/authors/royosherove/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/searchforplugins.asp) ## More in .Net Original [All posts in .Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original) - Apr 9, 2005 ### [\[Recording\] Roy Osherove on Software Factories and Domain Specific Languages](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/4/9/recording-roy-osherove-on-software-factories-and-domain-spec.html) - Mar 3, 2005 ### [Solving Binary serialization versioning conflicts](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/3/3/solving-binary-serialization-versioning-conflicts.html) - Jan 8, 2005 ### [\[Article\] Defensive event publishing in .NET](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/1/8/article-defensive-event-publishing-in-net.html) - Jan 8, 2005 ### [Making ClickOnce publishing work in VS.Net 2005 Beta 1+](https://osherove.com/blog/2005/1/8/making-clickonce-publishing-work-in-vsnet-2005-beta-1.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
