Gallio

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Testing

Latest version: 3.2.3
Added 2008-12-10Updated 2011-03-09

Open, extensible, and neutral automation platform that provides a common object model, runtime services and tools (such as test runners) that may be leveraged by any number of test frameworks.
The Gallio platform seeks to facilitate the creation of a rich ecosystem of interoperable testing tools produced by and for the community at large so as to address a far wider range of testing needs than any previous independent testing framework has done before. Unit tests, integration tests, performance tests, and even semi-automated test harnesses should all be able to leverage common facilities where appropriate. Moreover, they should present consistent interfaces to the world so that they can easily be integrated into the systems and processes of the enterprise.
At present Gallio can run tests from MbUnit, MSTest, NBehave, NUnit, xUnit.Net, and csUnit. Gallio provides tool support and integration with CCNet, MSBuild, NAnt, NCover, Pex, Powershell, Resharper, TestDriven.Net, TypeMock, dotCover and Visual Studio.
Gallio also includes its own command-line runner, Echo, and a Windows GUI, Icarus. Additional runners are planned or under development. Third parties are also encouraged to leverage the Gallio platform as part of their own applications.

Visual T#

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Languages, Testing

Author: Pretty Objects

Latest version: 1.6
Added 2009-10-28

Unit tests development environment integrated in Visual Studio.
Visual T# includes:
- T#: a programming language specialized for unit testing. T# is based on C# 2.0 (except anything related with unmanaged code). New keywords have been introduced to simplify test coding. And big emphasis has been placed on the definition of the test intention.
- Tools to compile, run and navigate through tests.

Benefits:
- Transparent usage of best practices: clearly identifies the three parts inherent to a test (Preparation, Execution, Verification).
- Fast problems identification: tests that are not well constructed are separated from those that actually failed.
- Easy validation specification: one keyword assert to handle all the cases.
- Effective debugging: tests concerning a working declaration can be executed without knowing where they have been declared.
- Usage of different contexts: re-execute tests for different contexts without rewriting them.
- Indication of missing logical tests: missing logical tests are indicated upon compilation of the test code.
- Simplified writing: each verification can be expressed in one line of code (this also holds for events, exceptions, etc.), use relative verifications.

Visual T# can be used outside of Visual Studio.

VSGuard

Categories: Testing

Author: Guardsoft

Latest version: 1.0
Added 2004-05-18

Implementation of relative debugging for Visual Studio.
Relative debugging allows a user to compare data between two executing programs. It was devised to aid the testing and debugging of programs that are either modified in some way, or are ported to other computer platforms.
Whilst VSGuard is valuable for any of the Visual Studio supported languages, it has special appeal for migration from Visual Studio 6.0 to the .NET Framework. VSGuard is able to run a Visual Basic 6.0 and VB.NET project concurrently, automatically comparing data, and reporting differences that occur.

Categories: Testing

Latest version: 2.4 RC
Added 2003-05-20Updated 2007-03-06

Unit-testing framework for all .NET languages.
Initially ported from JUnit, the 2.0 version is the second major release of this xUnit based unit testing tool for Microsoft .NET. It is written entirely in C# and has been completely redesigned to take advantage of many .NET language features, for example custom attributes and other reflection related capabilities. NUnit brings xUnit to all .NET languages.

Core features:
- In order to test an application under NUnit, you write test code that is specially annotated using custom attributes. Your test code contains assertions, which demonstrate the correct working of the application.
- If your application stores settings in configuration Files, NUnit provides you with the ability to have settings for your test, which are different from those used in production.
- In addition to running tests in a single assembly, NUnit provides support for tests organized as multiple assemblies and for creating and running tests as NUnit test projects.
- For those using NUnit on a Windows system with Visual Studio installed, Visual Studio support is available.
- Console runner
- GUI runner

NDbUnit

Categories: Testing

Latest version: 1.2
Added 2006-08-02

Library for putting a database into a known state.
NDbUnit may be used to increase repeatability in unit tests that interact with a database by ensuring that the database's state is consistent across execution of tests. NDbUnit does this by allowing the unit test to perform an operation on a dataset before or after the execution of a test, thus ensuring a consistent state.
NDbUnit borrows many ideas from DbUnit, and makes them available for the .NET platform. It supports SQL Server and OLE database types.

Categories: Testing

Author: Microsoft

Latest version: 0.9
Added 2008-05-26Updated 2009-02-17

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.

Rhino Mocks

Categories: Testing

Author: Ayende Rahien

Latest version: 3.5
Added 2005-07-07Updated 2008-12-11

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.
- Assert Act Arrange syntax

NMock

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: Testing

Latest version: 2.0 Release Candidate 1
Added 2003-05-21Updated 2007-10-31

Dynamic mock-object library for .NET.
Its purpose is to provide an API for rapidly creating mock implementations of custom objects and verifying that objects interact with them correctly from unit tests.

Features include:
- expectations are specified beforehand and verified on the fly as the code under test is being executed, rather than afterwards using assertions. This has the advantage that mocks fail fast, allowing you to easily pinpoint the exact point the test failed, using a stack trace or debugger.
- mock implementations of interfaces are generated on the fly at runtime, which avoids having to add a code generation step to the build.
- error messages show the reason for the failure.
- flexible expectations can be built up using the constraint library.

The original NMock was a .NET port of the Java-based DynaMock, whereas NMock 2.0 is inspired by the newer jMock library.

- Recursive/nested mocking: mock members that have originated from calls that have occurred in your current mock instance.
- Mocking framework methods: JustMock supports mocking types coming from the core framework libraries like mscorlib, System, etc.
- Mocking properties: JustMock supports mocking of property getter calls, indexers, and a particular property set operation.
- Partial mocking
- Sequential mocking: return different values on subsequent calls of the same type.
- Static mocking: mock classes that are dependent on static calls or otherwise known as static methods.
