Testing without SmtpClient
This is pretty awesome. here’s another way of really unit testing smtpClient code, without having a server running: I’m using Isolator to capture and redirect calls from the next instance of SmtpClient, capturing the parameters to a method call on it, and then asserting on the passed in object.

The woes of multithreaded design – How to find deadlock using Typemock Racer

The amazing thing is that although the article was published at 1997 (11 years ago) the problem described in it is still relevant today. The article explains basic multithreading concepts (in Java) such as threads, thread safety …

Writing Testable Code
A common problem that most beginners in the TDD world have is how to define a unit test. Although seems like a (very) simple task – writing a good unit test is not that simple. That’s why when I saw this post (On Google Testing blog) I know I found something worthwhile. In the post …
