No, I don’t think of testing private or protected methods. The private and protected methods of a class aren’t part of the public interface, so they don’t expose public behavior. Generally these methods are created by refactorings you apply after you’ve made your test turn green. So these private methods are tested implicitly by the … Read more
Internal classes need to be tested and there is an assembly attribute: using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; [assembly:InternalsVisibleTo(“MyTests”)] Add this to the project info file, e.g. Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs, for the project under test. In this case “MyTests” is the test project.
No it’s not possible, without changing the sources, or bringing your own version of foo() that is linked with the executable code. From GoogleMock’s FAQ it says My code calls a static/global function. Can I mock it? You can, but you need to make some changes. In general, if you find yourself needing to mock … Read more
Let me begin by plugging sources – Pragmatic Unit Testing in Java with JUnit (There’s a version with C#-Nunit too.. but I have this one.. its agnostic for the most part. Recommended.) Good Tests should be A TRIP (The acronymn isn’t sticky enough – I have a printout of the cheatsheet in the book that … Read more
I get paid for code that works, not for tests, so my philosophy is to test as little as possible to reach a given level of confidence (I suspect this level of confidence is high compared to industry standards, but that could just be hubris). If I don’t typically make a kind of mistake (like … Read more
Unfortunately you are not doing it right because that article is wrong. It pretends that FakeContext will make your code unit testable but it will not. Once you expose IDbSet or IQueryable to your controller and you fake the set with in memory collection you can never be sure that your unit test really tests … Read more
Karma or Protractor Karma is a JavaScript test-runner built with Node.js and meant for unit testing. The Protractor is for end-to-end testing and uses Selenium Web Driver to drive tests. Both have been made by the Angular team. You can use any assertion-library you want with either. Screencast: Karma Getting started related: Should I be … Read more
If you want to unit test a private method, something may be wrong. Unit tests are (generally speaking) meant to test the interface of a class, meaning its public (and protected) methods. You can of course “hack” a solution to this (even if just by making the methods public), but you may also want to … Read more
How do I test a class that has private methods, fields or inner classes?
