Pex

�

Categories:	Testing
Author:	Microsoft
Latest version:	0.5
Description:	Automated exploratory testing tool. Pex (Program EXploration) is an assistant to the programmer that automatically produces a traditional unit test suite with high code coverage from a parameterized unit test. In addition, it suggests to the programmer how to fix the bugs. Pex generates unit tests from hand-written parameterized unit tests through automated exploratory testing based on dynamic symbolic execution. Unit Tests: parameterless methods that test a single unit of code. Parameterized unit tests: same as above, but with parameters. Automated exploratory testing: a tool-supported process of running, learning and testing code at the same time. Dynamic symbolic execution: a combination of static analysis and runtime monitoring to compute test inputs. Pex comes with a Visual Studio add-in, and also works from the command line.

Categories:	Testing
Author:	Ayende Rahien
Latest version:	3.5 Beta
Description:	Dynamic mock object framework. Rhino Mocks' purpose is to ease testing by allowing the developer to create mock implementations of custom objects and verify the interactions using unit testing. Rhino.Mocks is based on EasyMock.Net and released under the same BSD license. It's a hybrid approach between the pure Record/Replay of EasyMock.Net's model and NMock's expectation-based model. One of the key features of Rhino Mocks is that it works with refactoring tools so changing your code won't break your tests. Features include: - Explicit record & replay model for expectations. - Working with strongly typed mocks. - Expectations based on: Arguments matching; Constraints matching; Custom callback to verify the expected arguments using your own code. - Setting actions on methods, return specific value, or throw an exception.

Categories:	Code analysis - Standards verifiers Testing
Author:	Compuware
Latest version:	1.0
Description:	Provides support for testing error handlers, creating a repeatable environment for proactively analyzing and debugging application error-handling code. DevPartner Fault Simulator uses fault simulation to emulate real-world application errors. Features include: - Safe fault simulation: A .NET Framework fault can be simulated either on a line of code or independent of location. Developers can also simulate an environmental failure in the target application. Properties, parameters and conditions associated with every fault make it possible to further refine the simulation. - Reports: Display information about the faults being simulated and how they are being handled as the simulation is taking place. Also provides results about the error handling in the application code upon completion of the simulation. This includes a description of the fault, the current call stack and an error-handler stack for each instance simulated. Simulation results may be saved for later analysis. - User education: The areas in source code where faults can be simulated are highlighted. Additionally, developers can select a line of code within Visual Studio .NET and allow DevPartner Fault Simulator to identify the list of exceptions that can be simulated at that location. This helps you to understand what faults your code must be built to handle. - Visual Studio .NET integration
