Like I said before , this as been on the back of my mind for a while. A while back I introduced a way to get the MethodInfo of a method in a strongly typed way using LINQ , and that's how I'm going to make Reflective Mocks more Natural . Well, it's as easy as this: public static class MockExtender...

Eli Lopian from TypeMock™ , has an article on CodeProject about the disadvantages of design for testability and how to use TypeMock™ to remove these disadvantages while keep the advantages of unit testing. I have to say that I agree with Eli: design for testability is BAD. It exposes more that it needs...

Reading this post from Michael Puleio's blog I got to this post from Michael Feathers' blog . In his post Michael Feathers doesn't state what a unit test is, but what a unit test isn't. And, sometimes, this is just enough to help a lot. A test is not a unit test if: It talks to the database It communicates...
