Unit Tests

Nunit

http://www.nunit.org/

Rules and notes

• keep tests up to date
• In order to run tests from the test case runner, you need to be sure the database from Hydrodesktop.database is copied into the binaries directory
• Tests which use TestCases Attributes do not work in resharper 4 or 4.5 (maybe 5). Use the Nunit runner to run tests

Categories

We should start using Categories

• Hydrodesktop Data
  • Data manager
  • Model
  • repository

Tested Areas

• Hydrodektop.Data has unit test

Test Database

We need a standardized test database, so that the tests can be run on a known dataset.

User Interfaces and file output

Look as using approval tests: http://approvaltests.sourceforge.net/ Basically, an approval test will fail the first time, and anytime the output differs. Then you approve the result. The results can be stored in source control, so that you can keep a history.
