F# development and unit testing? [closed]

by

Test-driven developers should feel right at home in functional languages like F#: small functions that give deterministically repeatable results lend themselves perfectly to unit tests. There are also capabilities in the F# language that facilitate writing tests. Take, for example, Object Expressions. You can very easily write fakes for functions that take as their input an interface type.

If anything, F# is a first-class object-oriented language and you can use the same tools and tricks that you use when doing TDD in C#. There are also some testing tools written in or specifically for F#:

Matthew Podwysocki wrote a great series on unit testing in functional languages. Uncle Bob also wrote a thought provoking article here.
