Unit Testing • Secrets of an Umbraco Ninja • Presented by: • Aaron Powell me@aaron-powell.com @slace www.aaron-powell.com
What and Why? • Not Test Driven Development • Separation of logic from UI • Ability to create reusable components • Reduced errors by repeatable tests in controlled environments • Better API design
Stub & Mocks • Stub is an instance which wont break your test • Stubs can be implementations of a class created purely for testing purposes • Mocks • Less common in current unit testing • Type instances where nothing is defined • Can be very brittle
Frameworks • Do you need a mocking framework? • Short answer is no • Can create your own stub types • Gives you greater control • Why to use one? • Easy expectation setup • Using stubs on less accessible types • Set-less properties
Development • WebForms MVP to abstract away ASP.NET WebForms features • Dependency Injection to simplify the creation of factory types • Factory Pattern for data access
With Umbraco • Heavy reliance of HttpContext • Hard to Mock • Requires a web context • Lots of static • Hard to mock • Changing data • What are we working against?
