Writing Useful Unit Tests?
Jul 7, 2010
I have a simple page with a Grid that I'm binding a collection of objects to. I also have some simple functionality on the grid to edit and save rows. I would like to write unit tests for this page, but it's not really making sense to me.For example:
Private Sub LoadGrid()
'Populate Collection
grid.datasource = MyCollection
grid.databind()
end sub
I guess a Sub really doesn't need a unit test, but what if this were a function that returned true when the grid had been loaded. How do you write a unit test for this? What other test should be done on a simple web page like this?

In my project we use UnitTests (MsTest). We run them manually and in the build script.But for some environments where we deploy manually.We are in the need of having some smoke tests. At the moment I made this smoke tests "manually" (Login, create an user, create a licence, create a product, etc). I know I can run unit tests from command line or from visual studio but...Do you know if is possible to run these mstests (or probably a small subset) from an .aspx page and show the results?EDITED: wondering if mstests or something is able to run the tests and have something visual to show in an .aspx page similar to a list of tests passed and tests failed...I am thinking on running only a small subset of tests (5-6)

I need to fake HttpContext.Current.Application table to access it from my unit tests.I need to store my data somewhere. I thought that I can just pass instance of NameValueCollectionBase but as I descover this base type has no indexer so it's too complicated to use. So what about faking this part of HttpContext? Is it possible? How can I make it? Will be NUnit.

As stated in http://forums.asp.net/t/1535916.aspx the unit tests are missing from the ASP.NET MVC 2 RTM source code, but are available on CodePlex at
http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/41742).
After installing ASP.NET MVC2 RTM on Visual Web Developer 2008 Express, apparently unit tests are not enabled for VWD - when I create a new MVC2 project I don't get the "Create Unit Test Project" dialog box where I can say"Yes, create a unit test project".(I thought I was presented with that dialog box in earlier versions of either MVC2 RC or MVC1, but maybe not...)
Given the source code on codeplex, is it possible to use that to enable unit tests for MVC2 for VWD Express? If so, are the steps one have to take detailed somewhere?

I want to write a unit test which tests the function of a class called UploadedFile. The problem I face is this class' static constructor uses HttpContext.Current property and because I am running my unit test from a class library I do not have an HttpContext at the testing time.
Look at my static constructor:
static UploadedFile()
{
if (HttpContext.Current == null)[code]....
What should I do in my testing environment so that HttpContext.Current won't be null and I can successfully set this:
HttpServerUtility server = HttpContext.Current.Server;

Fo unit testing ASP.NET controls I need a stubbed Page.
I can create an ASP.NET Page object in my unit tests by subclassing System.Web.UI.Page.However, I cannot find a way to set Page.Form. Adding a form with attribute (runat,server)does not work. Overloading the form in my Subclass does not give the required functionality.
Context:I try to unit test some homemade ASP.NET controls. These control require Page and Page.Form not to be null.

I need a Continuous integration tool that will support both .Net Unit tests and Javascript unit tests and perform the builds.It looks like my main options are CruiseControl.NET using JUnit and NUnit or Team City and JS Test Driver.
Are there any other options and which ones have you used or had good or bad experiences with.

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
[URL]
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?

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.

I made a small program which tests a set of url's and checks if they get redirected to another set of urls. Now this program has been working fine till I got a few urls which are of the form [URL] Now the problem occurs when I have a url with "//" not the http://, whenever I use any url with "//" it produces the error The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine. If I test the same in the browser it loads the page, but I cannot check the same throught the application. If I remove the "/" then it should work, but then the site wont load.

At my previous job we had VS 2008 Team Edition which included the ability to do web tests and load testing right in VS. Currently the company I'm at has VS 2010 Professional but we are thinking of upgrading to Premium, but this still leaves us without the built in Web Testing/Load Testing ability directly in VS.
I'm going to talk to my IT Director and see if they might be willing to go for ultimate, but I need to know first if any off-the-shelf products can fill this hole as the cost is almost double for the Ultimate edition of VS 2010.I really like the testing abilities in 2008 that I worked with, but really just need some of the similar functionality. The ability to record a test and then group a series of tests together, see the HTPP values and results, possibly the ability to do data driven tests and DEFINITELY the need for load testing.

I have written some database integration tests in the format of MS unit test. If I run each test, it runs fine. If I run 2 integration tests, it runs fine. However, if I runs 3 or more test at the same time, one test will show "In Progress", and other shows "Pending", basically, it does not make any progress at all, stays there forever. I turned on SQL Server Profiler, it does not show the test hit the database at all.
Here are some examples of my method:

But I have other tests that are essentially deployment tests (you can't test how the production deployment went using a unit test on a build server) and I'd like to use the nUnit framework to run these.But, the production server doesn't have the nUnit command line executer. I'm only allowed to run aspx pages and reference .dll's in bin.What do I need to do to run tests (yeah, yeah, they're not really unit tests--relax) using nUnit in a webpage? Is there a straight forward way to do this, or does this essentially require porting the nUnit winforms test runner to ASP.NET?

I'm just starting to use the TestHelpers in MvcContrib. I want to try and test an action method on my controller that itself tests if IsAjaxRequest() is true. I've used the same code that is shown in the TestHelper samples to set up the TestControllerBuilder
_controller = new StarsController();
_builder = new TestControllerBuilder();
_builder.InitializeController(_controller);
So that _controller has all the faked/mocked HttpContext inside it, which is really great. But what do I do now to force IsAjaxRequest() on the internally faked Request object to return true?

One of my NUnit tests has to read in some values from config files. In my main application this process works perfectly well, however when I run the unit test, the code that reads in the values from the config files doesnt read anything in. Ive tried putting app.config in my unit test project (I even tried web.config) but nothing seems to work. Are there any special steps involved when reading from config files in an nunit test ?

I want to write a few web tests (over WatiN/Selenium + CassiniDev web server) for my asp.net web application.Problem I encountered is that I dont know what to do in such situations: there is a page where user can click the button to call some third-party service. In my web test i want to create mock of this service, which will always return static value (some value in these test case and other value in other test case).How can i do that?
Currently i use IoC/DI container Microsoft Unity. And my pages gets his dependencies in a manner described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff664622%28v=pandp.50%29.aspx.
The only solution that comes to my head is: place all dependencies in web.config for each test case and copy necessary web.config on SetUp of test.

I have been looking at the unit testing topic and honestly I have never yet seen it in a live application.
Im a little foggy on the subject....
A simple example is if I am populating a listbox with data, I would know through debugging if the data is being populated and if it wasnt it would probably be easy to figure out why. Futhermore I couldnt possibly put it in production if it wasnt work so, why would I need to do a unit test? I dont see the point of it.

In MVC, the unit testing is primarily surrounding the controllers. The Model is rarely tested, and the View not at all. What is the consensus on this?

I'm trying to unit test the MembershipProvider, however I cant figure out how or whether there is any need for unit testing of it...
My business layer:
public interface IAccountService
{
MembershipCreateStatus CreateUser(string userName, string password, string email);
}
public class AccountService : IAccountService
{
private readonly MembershipProvider provider;
public AccountService() : this(null) { }
public AccountService(MembershipProvider providera)
{
this.provider = providera ?? Membership.Provider;
}
public MembershipCreateStatus CreateUser(string userName, string password, string email)
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(userName)) throw new ArgumentException("Value cannot be null or empty.", userName);
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(password)) throw new ArgumentException("Value cannot be null or empty.", password);
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(email)) throw new ArgumentException("Value cannot be null or empty.", email);
MembershipCreateStatus status;
provider.CreateUser(userName, password, email, null, null, true, null, out status);
return status;
}
}
The only examples I've found so far requires a "MockMembershipProvider" with a local database setup... seems quite odd to me.
