Unit Testing - Free Automatic Regression Test Tool For Applications?
Sep 16, 2010
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.
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 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.
i have a .NET 3.5 solution with an asp.net(web site) project with fluentnhibernate and it's test project(class library project).i've referenced the asp.net project in the test project and with all fluentnhibernate/nhibenate dlls.
What i fail to comprehend is that, on a run of a webform (hit from browser) let's say Test.aspx, building of schema is successfull and i could see the tables in my database.
here is the method i call on Test.aspx.cs
[code]....
So from my comment the NullReferenceException happens when accessing the connectionstring. I don't have the explanation on why that happens.
We have an application that may or may not have problems during heavy load. To try to get more correct usage patterns regarding load, we'd like to just fire up a bunch of users logging in, and then repeatedly just navigating through a list of links (our menu basically.)Is there any open source or free tools we can use? We're not adverse to pay for anything if we need to but right now we are trying a bunch of different things and we'd like to hold off on this until we know a bit more.Of course, some simply Python scripts would do the trick, but if there's anything we could input our links to that saves us a bit of time in this it would be most welcome.
I have one asp.net 2.0 application with MS Sql 2005 database.. As i deploy this database with client Machine.. now what i need is i need to take a backup of MS Sql 2004 database.. so is that any free tool is available which take daily backup...
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.
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.
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.
I'm using the Moq framework to do my unit testing. I'm following some really useful instructions outlined here to mock the httpcontext, specifically for the purposes of testing the url referrer:[URL]
Everything seems to compile fine, however when running the test I get the following error:
System.Web.HttpException: Invalid use of SimpleWorkerRequest constructor. Application path cannot be overridden in this context. Please use SimpleWorkerRequest constructor that does not override the application path..
When analyzing I find the error seems to be thrown at the following line:
var wr = new SimpleWorkerRequest("", "", "", "", writer); I'm not sure what to make of this. What is the SimpleWorkerRequest and how does it work in creating the HttpContext in Moq?? Why is my use of it invalid according to the debugger??
UPDATE: Here is the complete method I use taken from the website above
public static HttpContextBase FakeHttpContext() { var httpContext = new Mock<HttpContextBase>(); var request = new Mock<HttpRequestBase>(); var response = new Mock<HttpResponseBase>(); var session = new Mock<HttpSessionStateBase>(); var server = new Mock<HttpServerUtilityBase>(); var cookies = new HttpCookieCollection(); httpContext.Setup(x => x.Server).Returns(server.Object); httpContext.Setup(x => x.Session).Returns(session.Object); httpContext.Setup(x => x.Request).Returns(request.Object); httpContext.Setup(x => x.Response).Returns(response.Object); response.Setup(x => x.Cookies).Returns(cookies); httpContext.SetupGet(x => x.Request.Url).Returns(new Uri("http://www.csuci.edu")); httpContext.SetupGet(x => x.Request.UrlReferrer).Returns(new Uri("http://www.csuci.edu")); //var writer = new StringWriter(); //var wr = new SimpleWorkerRequest("", "", "", "", writer); //HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(wr); return httpContext.Object; }
I commented out the problem lines, that seemed to fix it, but I'm still not sure what those lines were supposed to do and why they were causing error.
I created a new ASP.NET MVC application and the accompanying unit tests that can be generated automatically. I created a new Controller method and tried to wire up a test. The test failed, and I tried to step through the test code to find out the state of certain variables. The breakpoint showed as being set, but it never was hit.
I did a Google search on this, and there are many other people wondering the same thing - why doesn't this work? The answers have been sketchy at best. The most proliferant seems to be that the unit tests are run in the production configuration instead of the debug configuration, and so several steps are required to get breakpoints to work. Seriously? This is something I would expect to be enabled by default. What good is test code you can't step through? Why create a set of unit tests that require you to jump through several hoops to get this very basic feature running? NUnit (and I suppose others) don't have this issue.
how to get the breakpoints to work were completely different than all the others, and I'd like to know if anyone has an idea of how to enable debugging of the unit tests that are included in Visual Studio 2008.
I would like to have information on the available unit testing frameworks in .NET realm. Especially the ones which are suitable for ASP.NET (C# .NET 3.5).
I've made a custom model, and I want to mock it. I'm fairly new to MVC, and very new to unit testing. Most approaches I've seen create an interface for the class and then make a mock that implements the same interface. However I can't seem to get this to work when actually passing the interface into the View. Cue "simplified" example:
[code]...
Upon a HttpPost I get a "Cannot create an instance of an interface" exception. I seems that I can't have my cake (passing a model) and eat it (pass mock for unit testing). Maybe there's a better approach to unit testing models bound to views?
How can I render a razor view in a Unit Test?When I change for instance a html helper method, I sometimes forget to update all the views which uses that html method. So the view I forgot generates a YSOD.I would like to create unit tests that renders a view and fails if I forgot to make the neccecary updates.
How can BuildProvider's GenerateCode method be tested. I created a BuildProvider and now I want to unit test it. Is it possible? Initial question was not clear enough. I don't want to stub AssemblyBuilder, I want to mimic asp.net request. I want to make sure that VirtualPathProvider and BuildProvider work fine together.
One more clarification, I am not really interested in generated code from build provider, it is used only to kick-start compilation in medium-trust environment, I already have a code, I need build provider just so I could compile since CodeDomProvider is not accessible directly in medium trust.
is there some property where I can tell Code First to work against a static in memory lists ?
I am thinking on creating some generic class to work against code first like in the ASP.NET MVC Unleashed book and I was wondering if maybe there is simple way or something which is already made instead of me creating all the generic fakes ?
+ if i use Code First , should I still create a repository to work against this domain model ?
I have a class which I store in session. Lets say Class A, having an attribute theList. I have a member function that adds an item to theList and returns the count of my list.So I mock my class and set theList to "1,2,3" for my unit test, and test my add function by adding "4".
