Update the question so it focuses on one problem only by editing this post . IS there a way to test CSS and HTML? For instance: sometimes some of the notices get affected by some CSS changes. I don't want to be testing all the notices by hand every time I do a change. Thanks It's very difficult to automate testing of layout. But it's not too difficult to drastically cut down the time and effort involved so that you can do it manually, but very quickly. You could

I am making a role playing game for fun and attempting to use TDD while developing it. Many of the TDD examples I see focus on creating the test first, then creating objects that are needed to get the test to pass. For example: [Test] public void Character_WhenHealthIsBelowZero_IsDead() { // create default character with 10 health Character character = new Character(); character.SubtractHealth(20); Assert.That(character.IsAlive, Is.EqualTo(false)); } So based on this I'll create the character class and appropriate properties/methods. This seems fine and all but should my class design really

A new project we began introduced a lot of new technologies we weren't so familiar with, and an architecture that we don't have a lot of practice in. In other words, the interfaces and interactions between service classes etc of what we're building are fairly volatile, even more so due to internal and customer feedback. Though I've always been frustrated by the ever-moving specification, I see this to some degree a necessary part of building something we've never built before - if we just stuck to the original design and scope, the end product would probably be a whole lot less innovative and

TypeMock is too expensive for a hobbist like me :) Moq or the next version of RhinoMocks have no plans on listening to the profiling API, why is that? EDIT: This enables features such as: Mocking non-virtual methods and properties (!). Mocking browser environments. simpler syntax which is less fragile (and not having to go trough mock objects). Mocking static methods Sometimes is useful (Mostly in legacy scenarios, involving the dreaded DateTime.Now). And more .. TypeMock is too expensive for a hobbist like me It's probably also too expensive to develop and release for free. Declaimer I work

Update the question so it can be answered with facts and citations by editing this post . I'm using Jasmine for testing client & server side javascript and need to do some mocking. Has anyone got any suggestions for a good javascript mocking framework? I tried this once, but ended up refactoring instead so it wasn't needed. It doesn't have dependencies, so it should work just fine on node.js. http://sinonjs.org/ These are testing frameworks, but some of them include

I'm trying to get my head around test-driven design, specifically RSpec. But I'm having trouble with some of the examples from The RSpec Book. In the book, we test for output on $STDOUT like this: output = double('output') game = Game.new output.should_receive(:puts).with('Welcome to Codebreaker!') game.start() Well, that works after a fashion. But why on earth should I care if the Game object uses the puts() method? If I change it to print(), should it really break the test? And, more importantly, isn't this against the one of the principals of TDD - that I should be testing what the method
