Visual Studio :: Unit Testing Tool For Web Application?
Aug 26, 2010
I am lookinf for a Unit testing Tool for asp.net web application. i intended to use visual studio 2008 web test. Please tell me where can i get nice tutorials to start up on this tool. and also suggest me is any other web testing tools out there.
am working as a web developer in a company. I am not aware of anything related to testing. Our company is planning to buy some testing softwares. Presently we are working on ASP.NET. We will be working on PHP and JAVA in future. I need your help to find out the best but cost effective testing sofwares.on TFS and Visual Studio Testing tool.
have a test project for testing methods in the Business/Models tier of my application. For methods that do calculations or have return types this works great.What would some suggested ways to perform (any is this even necessary) testing on methods that would normally have no return type, such as a 'Delete' method?Example:
I want to create a unit testing project for my existing websiet which is written in VB. When I try to add a unit testing , no place I can select c#. It always create in VB. How can i add a c# unit testing project for it?
is there any tutorial about how to run a unit testing on a web page (events...etc) in visual studio 2008? is it even possible? i can find anything to start with
i created a unit test project with the built-in unit testing from vs 2008. i noticed that when running a unit test and in particular when the class i am testing attempts to set a value from the app.config file using the configurationsettings, the configuration settings object always has 0 keys...and thus my value i am trying to use is always null...is there anything about the unit testing structure that would return null values from the app config when i know the keys are there...the existing program uses those keys for email addresses and such already.
we are working in a small team. We often had problems like developer1 did some changes in stored procedure or funtion and it affected work of developer2. Such issues are traced out by chance later. Please guide me how such issues can be stopped. Is there a free tool that we can run to test such issues.
For developing a VS-2008 application at developing stage best softwares for test the application.we found some of the testing applications like NUnit and MSUnit, which are the softwares best to test the application at developing stage.
I have downloaded all the required setup to use windows application. I am using vs 2008, already downloaded Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK Refresh, Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK Refresh. its buliding and deploying successfully. But I am not able to place tools, because there are no tool in toolbox. What i should do to see the tools in tool box.
Recently for a class to implement unit test for one of its private methods I used PrivateObject by creating private accessor instead of refelection, to which i received a code review comment as below
"My main concern with Private Object is the use of object[] in constructor. It replaces strong typing enforced by compiler with JavaScript-style run-time error detection.Consequently , personally, I would not recommend it."
Comments above confused me beacuse as per my understanding reflection also needs the object[] to invoke any method.
I have VS 2008 Professional Edition.....I want to test a function like this:
public int getIdByName(string name) { var item=from x in DATAB where x.name=name select x.id; . . return idValue; }
now I test end I have:
[TestMethod()] public getIdByNameTest() { string name="Bob" int expected = 1; int actual; actual = ClassGET.getIdByName(name); Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual); Assert.Inconclusive("Verify the correctness of this test method."); }
The error in "test run" is:
Failed ......[Class]....... Test method threw exception: System.ArgumentException: The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration that is not for use with the EntityClient provider or thought is invalid
can Visual Studio 2008 be All-In-One tool to integrate source code continuously from team members, build, unit test?
Having used Visual Studio Team Edition 2005, unit testing each method within VS itself. I strongly believe that it is feasible to add-on tools. Example ankhsvn tool to use SVN from Visual studio [URL]
In my investigating i have come across number of tools(shown below) to use with Visual Studio 2008 professional
Development tool:- Visual Studio 2008 professional using Subversion as source control tool. Continuous Integration:- Hudson or Cruise control Build tool:- NAnt Testing:- NUnit, Selinium As Visual Studio 2008 can be used for unit testing I think NUnit is out of consideration.
In the same way i would like to have any other tools/add-ons to Visual studio to implement continuous integration, building and unit testing. This process should be automated such a way source code between team members is continuously integrated, built and unit testing is done as configured.
Objective is to use few number of tools as add-on to Visual Studio or achieve most from Visual studio itself (example unit testing). Visual Studio should be all in one tool.
I am aware that Team Foundation Server best suits my requirement, but it is out of scope due to its cost.
I'm using VSTS 2K8 and I've set up a Unit Test Project. In it, I have a test class with a method that does a simple assertion. I'm using an Excel 2007 spreadsheet as my data source.
My test method looks like this:
[Code]....
As indicated in the method decoration attributes, my Excel spreadsheet is on my local C:/ Drive. In it, the sheet where all of my data is located is named "Sheet1".I've copied the Excel spreadsheet into my project and I've set its Build Action = "Content" and I've set its Copy to Output Directory = "Copy if Newer".
When trying to run this simple unit test, I receive the following error:
The unit test adapter failed to connect to the data source or to read the data. For more information on troubleshooting this error, see "Troubleshooting Data-Driven Unit Tests" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=62412) in the MSDN Library. Error details: ERROR [42S02] [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Office Access database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
I've verified that the sheet name is spelled correctly (i.e. Sheet1) and I've verified that my data sources are set correctly.Web searches haven't turned up much at all. [Code]....
I'm trying create unit testing for an existing website project (not web application project). I cannot access my under test classes unless I use accessor. However, if I use accessor, I have problem to initiate an object with passing arguments. I only want to create unit tetsing for App_Code. After searching web, and I found that I'd better to create a web application project using my current existing website project. From solution explorer, add new project ->using existing website. My questions is: what impact will have for my current website to create the new project? Should I just convert my current website to web application? If do that, will it cuase problems on my website? I am new on asp.net, still learning..
I'd like to tryout ASP.NET MVC2, im using VWD2010 on Windows 7. I can't seem to be able to get the unit test dialog to pop up. I googled it and all I find is nUnit templates for VWD2008.
Anyone running into this issue with same setup as mine?
I have a unit test that reads from an .xml file and it works fine on my local machine.However, in TFS when I create a new build it gives the following exception:
Failed GetArticleByIdTestOptimal Test method Test.ArticleSystemTest.GetArticleByIdTestOptimal threw exception: System.Xml.XmlException: ImportFromFile filePath=[.Articles1to5.xml]. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'c:uildareaTestResults fservice 2010-10-19 11_52_19_Any CPU_ReleaseOutArticles1to5.xml'..
Is there some reason why a unit test could pass locally but not in TFS? I've verified that the file is on the build server.
I recently came accross the following article on Stephen Walther's website

Basically, it provides some excellent guidance on how to integrate your Javascript tests into Visual Studio. I followed the steps in the article and successfully managed to test Javascript methods using Visual Studio tests.
I am unable however to unit test JQuery methods (I get errors such as "window" undefined). I was wondering if anyone has successfully managed to test jQuery methods on the server using the above link?
How to force tests from one test library run in one 'packet' - I mean - all tests from A.dll, then all tests from B.dll and so on?
Now, when libraries use the same database, mixing tests from various libraries causes errors - one library restores database before test method is started from other library....
The other possibility, that I'm thinking about is to not use assembly load startup method, but restore all databases only once - before first test starts - but I don't know how to do it...
2. I added a WebApplication project to this solution.
3. I clicked Add Web Reference
4. I clicked Web services on the local machine
5. Web Services listed on my local machine:
"There was an error while enumerating services on local machine:
Active Directory Services cannot find the web server. A possible cause for this is an incompatibility between versions of Internet Information Server (IIS) on the client and the server. Another possible cause is that IIS is not installed on the local machine, or the user identity under which you are running may not have permissions to view websites on this machine. To view websites on this machine, make sure that you run Visual Studio as administrator. On Windows Vista computers with IIS installed, make sure that IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility feature is enabled."
I have Visual Studio 2010 beta and Visual Studio 2008 Professional installed on this computer. I do not have any IIS server installed. Do I require a IIS server when coding webservices+webapplications?[URL]
