I posted a while ago on wiring in Fitness.Net into a unit test framework using HTML files to hold the tests .

As we move into the SOA world workflows will become more common and so the need to test them will increase. If we take the most simplistic view these are a sets if statements and loops so should be amenable to automated testing and TDD. However you have to careful how you try to do this, it is too easy...

Rebuild of GUITester

I have eventually got round to rebuilding my GUITester on Codeplex for VS2008. I must get round to looking to see if a similar declarative test markup system has any mileage for XAML. Something was talking about at Alt.net in the spring - how time flies.

Running Fitnesse.NET tests using MSTest

I have been looking at Fitnesse.NET for a while; if you have not come across this testing tool I cannot recommend Gojko Adzic book highly enough; an excellent real world introduction to Fitnesse.NET. For me, the problem with Fitnesse is that it's WIKI architecture does not lend itself to working...

CruiseControl & MSTest from Visual Studio 2008

Ages ago I posted on using MSTest and CruiseControl .NET with VS2005. As I am presenting tomorrow to the Yorkshire Extreme Programming Club on CC.Net I thought it a good idea to revisit this subject with VS2008. Well basically nothing has changed, the old ccnet.config I detailed still works. However...

Another declarative programming language to try to test

At the Alt.NET UK conference there was a good deal of discussion about tactics to test declarative languages such as XAML in WPF applications. Well it seems we have another one coming out of the Oslo project - ' D '. Looks like there is no escape, testing of declarative languages is going to...

Oh to be a tester....

Whilst at the Alt.net conference it was pointed out that I have a different view of the role of a tester in a software development team to many other people. It seems a tester, to many people, is viewed as a person who follows manual test scripts and/or monitors automated systems, they are really part...
