I am practicing with mockito, but I am a bit stuck on how to test a method that depends on a call to method in a local object. See the following example: public class Worker { public void work() { Vodka vodka = new Vodka(); vodka.drink(); } } This worker, instead of doing his job, he likes drinking. But I want to add a test to prove that he drinks while he works. But there is no way of doing so, because I must verify that the method drink() is called when the method work is called. I think you agree with me, that this is impossible to test, so I need to break the dependency before starting to

I have a whole bunch of unit tests written in MbUnit and I would like to generate plain English sentences from test names. The concept is introduced here: http://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd This is from the article: public class CustomerLookupTest extends TestCase { testFindsCustomerById() { ... } testFailsForDuplicateCustomers() { ... } ... } renders something like this: CustomerLookup - finds customer by id - fails for duplicate customers - ... Unfortunately the tool quoted in the above article (testdox) is Java based. Is there one for .NET? Sounds like this would be something pretty simple

I'm new to TDD and working with Mocha and Chai. I have created a test that passes when a value is increased, but when that increase is put within a setInterval, it fails. The objective of this code is to have something move across the screen. function startMovingThing(){ var position = setInterval(function() { moveThing(10); }, 100); } function moveThing(number){ thing.position += number; thingOnScreen.style.left = thing.position + 'px'; } test: describe('Thing', function() { it('should increase position', function(){ assert.increases(startMovingThing, thing, 'position'); }); }); How can I get

I'm somewhat informed with TDD and BDD with Ruby/Rails, but I will eventually need to use some form of testing with my JavaScript code. I use MooTools as a JS framework and I absolutely love how well I can organize and modularize my code with its codebase. But, sometimes, when I add new features to my application, I find that the functionality can easily break from how it worked before. When it comes to testing JavaScrtpt code, does the testing itself fall short of user interaction? Is it really only to test the ins and outs of method and (emulated) classes in JavaScript? Or is there a UX

how do I debug in visual studio with NSpec? I've resharper installed I need to step into my test code. At least in Visual Studio 2013, the NSpec Test Adapter (by {o} Software) seems to do the trick. Find it in the Extensions gallery. Then just right-click on the test in the Test Explorer and hit Debug. Another good option is to just type System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch() in the test you want to debug. You'll get a Visual Studio prompt to debug the test. I would also recommend taking a look at specwatchr . I use a simple trick that let's me debug NSpec with resharper out of the box. The idea

I'm toying with using Core Data to manage a graph of objects, mainly for dependency injection (a subset of the NSManagedObjects do need to be persisted, but that isn't the focus of my question). When running unit tests, I want to take over creation of the NSManagedObjects, replacing them with mocks. I do have a candidate means of doing this for now, which is to use the runtime's method_exchangeImplementations to exchange [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:inManagedObjectContext:] with my own implementation (ie. returning mocks). This works for a small test I've done. I have
