one of the “hidden” features in the latest typemock release is the fact that the Intellitest suggestion engine is extensible. I was easily able to add suggestions to create fake objects using another framework. here’s what the code to create an ISuggestionProvider looks like: and here’s what it looks like in visual studio: and selecting …

Our very own Roy Osherove posted a glimpse of a feature we’re planning to release in our next Isolator version – custom argument checkers in AAA. This feature will allow you to fake behavior conditionally; Argument placeholders are passed into the faking statement, and later used to specify a user provided delegate that defines the …

We are having quite a discussion lately within Typemock about the importance of the visibility of tested methods. For example, should it really be harder to test a private method?

More on Using Marshal.GetExceptionCode()
A long time ago Ayende pointed out that GetExcpetionCode can be used to know whether an exception was thrown from inside a finally clause. We have found this technique also useful (thank you Ayende) from inside a Dispose method. However, we also needed to know the exception type that was thrown and this apparently is …

Argument Checking
One common use of a mocking framework is to check interaction between classes, Specifically checking correct arguments passing between calls. Like any other framework Typemock Isolator also contain such an ability: using (RecordExpectations recorder = RecorderManager.StartRecording()){ MyClass mock = new MyClass(); mock.DoStuff(5); recorder.CheckArguments();} However when doing so its important to note that the verification is …
