Historical article · Originally published August 25, 2009; technical details may be outdated.
Here’s what people at my course in Norway had to say at the end of the day to the question “Tell me one thing you “got” today “:
- Lambda expressions (many of the isolation frameworks require heavy use of Lambda Expressions)
- Stub vs. Mock – the differences
- The different isolation frameworks (Isolator, Rhino Mock, Moq)
- How to Fake methods on classes
- Faking static methods (using Isolator, and refactoring)
- How to fake stuff in general
- Learned i have a lot to learn
- How to use moq
- How to test classes with many dependencies
- Test first actually works! (many felt today that writing the test first was just “automatic” without any thought – and really helped)
- Why good test naming is important (also helps direct you when you are “lost” in the test
- Design by contract removes waiting for other teams in the company
