Last webinar, “10 secret unit testing tips” was a blast. There were many questions, some I’ve answered. But then I’ve looked at the clock, and discovered I neglected to answer a few. And since I’m a a man of my word (most of the time), here are the rest of the questions and comments and …

Isolator++ 1.1 Released
Time for another release, And this one, has a few power punches. With the newly Introduced RET macro, Isolator can now fake a ref argument, actually returning it as the method returns. So if you have this method to test: bool PricingManager::IsExpired(){ SYSTEMTIME now; ::GetSystemTime(&now); if (now.wYear > 2010) return true; return false;} And that GetSystemTime needs …

How-To: Setting Behavior for Future Objects with Isolator++
One of the biggest hurdles in writing tests for legacy code are future dependencies. They are called “future” objects, because they are created inside the class under test, rather then injected into it by the test. Let’s look at our Person constructor: Person::Person() { address = new Address(); } That address, right there, is …

How-To: Change Behavior of Instance Methods with Isolator++
The basis of the Isolator++ is the ability to change behavior of any method. Let’s look at an example for changing behavior of an instance method. We want to test our Person object. While I’m using Person’s method to get the resulting country: char* Person::GetCountry() { return address->GetCountry(); } I’m actually concentrating on the …

Debugging the Undebuggable
I bumped up against an interesting problem today. I was trying to write a unit test for our CRM code (I’ll write about my endeavor in a another post). Anyway, I was trying to test a method (a WebMethod, actually) that was inside a class, which was inside an asmx file. Strangely enough, I never …

There are several solutions to solve this issue from downgrading my project to use …
