I am a newbie to unit testing. How do I check the for console output? I have namespace XXShapes { public abstract class XXShape { public virtual void DrawXXShape() { Console.WriteLine("The XXShape was drawn."); } } public class XXCircle : XXShape { public override void DrawXXShape() { Console.WriteLine("The XXCircle was drawn."); } } } namespace XXShapes.Test { [TestFixture] public class XXShapeTest { [Test] public void MyFirstTest() { XXShape s = new XXCircle(); string expected = "The XXCircle was drawn."; s.DrawXXShape(); string actual = Console.ReadLine(); Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);

I'm looking for something similar to the ASSERT_EQ / ASSERT_NE for ASSERT_DOUBLE_EQ. Maybe I'm missing an easy way of doing this without having a ASSERT_DOUBLE_NE? You can use the companion mocking framework Google Mock. It has a powerful library of matchers (a la Hamcrest), which you can use with the EXPECT_THAT/ASSERT_THAT macros: EXPECT_THAT(value, FloatEq(1)); EXPECT_THAT(another_value, Not(DoubleEq(3.14))); It looks like you're out of luck. However, you could add one yourself. I built the following code using ASSERT_DOUBLE_EQ and ASSERT_NE as a pattern. #define ASSERT_DOUBLE_NE(expected,

After reading Martin Fowler's Mocks Aren't Stubs , I've discovered I've been practicing TDD in the "mockist" fashion. But I'm wondering if even in mockist TDD if one can take mocking too far. Here's an updated example in Python-style pseudo-code: def sync_path(self): if self.confirm_or_create_connection(): self.sync(self.dirpath) The confirm_or_create_connection() method creates a connection to a server. I tested a method similar to this in two tests, both of which mock confirm_or_create_connection() and sync() (even though they're both methods in the same class). In one test the mock confirm

Let's say I want to write a function that validates an email address with a regex. I write a little test to check my function and write the actual function. Make it pass. However, I can come up with a bunch of different ways to test the same function (test@test.com; test234@test.com; test.test.com, etc). Do I put all the incantations that I need to check in the same, single test with several ASSERTS or do I write a new test for every single thing I can think of? Thanks! Paul Alexander Most testing frameworks now support some sort of data based testing to let you run the same test on multiple

I get URI::InvalidURIError testing Rails Home controller: require 'test_helper' class HomeControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest test "should get index" do get :index assert_response :success end end get the following error: E Error: HomeControllerTest#test_should_get_index: URI::InvalidURIError: bad URI(is not URI?): http://www.example.com:80index test/controllers/home_controller_test.rb:7:in `block in <class:HomeControllerTest>' The stack is the following: Rails 5.0.0.beta3 minitest (5.8.4) Controller tests inherit from ActionController::TestCase , while your test inherits from

Converting my current code project to TDD, I've noticed something. class Foo { public event EventHandler Test; public void SomeFunction() { //snip... Test(this, new EventArgs()); } } There are two dangers I can see when testing this code and relying on a code coverage tool to determine if you have enough tests. You should be testing if the Test event gets fired. Code coverage tools alone won't tell you if you forget this. I'll get to the other in a second. To this end, I added an event handler to my startup function so that it looked like this: Foo test; int eventCount; [Startup] public void

I am currently trying to learn how to use unit testing, and I have created the actual list of 3 animal objects and the expected list of 3 animal objects. The question is how do I Assert to check the lists are equal? I have tried CollectionAssert.AreEqual and Assert.AreEqual but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. The test method: [TestMethod] public void createAnimalsTest2() { animalHandler animalHandler = new animalHandler(); // arrange List<Animal> expected = new List<Animal>(); Animal dog = new Dog("",0); Animal cat = new Cat("",0); Animal mouse = new Mouse("",0); expected.Add(dog);
