Thanks to everyone who turned up for my presentation on Typemock and Sharepoint in Glasgow last night. I have just upload my slides onto the Black Marble site . As the session was quite demo driven the slides don’t offer the best code samples. If you...

VS2010 has excellent new features to assist the tester in general, and specifically in the area of manual testing . One of these is the ability to video a manual test run; to get this to work you have to have the Windows Media Encoder 9 installed as well...
Ben Hall has written an interesting post on creating a testing framework with MEF. As Ben said it is more a learning exercise for MEF than a useful product but it certainly show show the ease you can add meta data and reflection like functionality to...
I have been having some binding problems when trying to use Ivonna 2.0.0 against a version of Typemock Isolator other than the 5.3.0 build it was built to run against. This is a know issue, if your version of Ivonna and Typemock don’t match then you have...
I have been blogging for a while now on using Tyepmock & Ivonna for various forms of testing, well you can bow buy both packages as a bundle and here is the blog/press viral marketing release….. Unit Testing ASP.NET? ASP.NET unit testing has never...
I was unable to attend the last Agile Yorkshire meeting, shame it sounds like it was a good one. The slides are up and give a really nice overview of the theory behind exploratory testing, worth a look at http://www.agileyorkshire.org/2009-event-announcements...

I had an enjoyable day at Developer Day Scotland in Glasgow yesterday; a big thank you to the organisers and speakers. I did a short grok talk on ‘Testing Sharepoint using Typemock Isolator and Ivonna’, a few people asked me for more details. Well the...
The MVC framework provides an excellent way to create a testable web site. In fact when you create a new MVC project you are given the option to create an associated test project that contains MSTEST unit tests for all the sample methods in the MVC Controller...

Like a good developer I have been trying to run Visual Studio with least privilege; with Windows 7 this seems to work well. My main account is not an administrator, but Windows prompts me for elevated rights when needed. I have been developing happily...

I have been working on some automated build and testing for a project based on the Microsoft MVC framework. The build was working fine, and test were being run, but I was not seeing any code coverage data in the build summary in Visual Studio for the...
Now I can test a basic workflow it soon becomes obvious that you could end up with many tests for a single workflow, as a workflow can have any number of criteria that could cause branching to occur. Maybe a sensible way to write the tests is using Fit...
After reading Gil’s blog on writing simpler tests I have done some tidying of the code from my previous post . In this version I have extracted the boiler plate code to run the workflow to a static helper method and modified my tests to incorporate Gil...
I have for a while been trying to test SharePoint workflows using TypeMock Isolator to mock out the SharePoint fixtures, I want to remove the dependency of having SharePoint on any test boxes where possible. I have at last got this working after getting...
I raised a question on the Typemock forum concerning a problem I was having mocking Sharepoint SPFarm objects. It was all down to which way to fake items using the various techniques in Isolator. It was interesting enough, I thought, to repeat here as...
If you have TypeMock Isolator based MSTests in a solution you will want them to be run as part of any CI build process. To get this to work with Team Build you have to make sure Isolator is started in the build box at the right time (something that is...
