When i perform unit testing on routines, using the unit testing framwork provided by VSTS, i need to get a output of the unit test and result on to a document (documentation). how do i do i do this?
View 1 RepliesI would like to prevent all subsequent unit tests from running when certain conditions are met in a unit test. Is this possible in Visual Studio 2005?
View 2 RepliesI'd like to add a message to be displayed in Visual Studio 2010 test results.I can post a message out if the test fails, but not true. Is there anyway to do this? For example:
dim quoteNumber as string = Sales.CreateQuote(foo)
assert.IsTrue(quoteNumber <> "")
'I would like to make this something like this:
assert.isTrue(quoteNumber <> "", falsepart, "Quote number " & quoteNumber & " created")
i am trying to create a Unit test for a WinForm in a Visual Studio 2010 project. I add a new "Coded UI Test" to my project, open up the code file, then right click and select "Generate Code for Coded UI Test" -> "Use Coded UI Test builder". I then start my application up, select "Record" on the UI Map control. I run my tests (in this case simply select a textbox, type in a random value, them click a button). I then select "Generate Code" from the UI Map control which generates the code which the test will use. When running this test, i get the error:
Test method
HelloWorldTest.CodedUITest1.CodedUITestMethod1
threw exception:

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.
View 3 RepliesI have taken on a project that has been underway for months. I've yet to ever do unit tests and figured it would be a decent time to start. However, normally unit tests are written as you go and you plan for them when beginning the project. Is it reasonable for me to start now? Are there any decent resources for setting up unit tests without starting a brand new solution (the project is already underway). Using vb.net with VS2005?
View 8 RepliesI have written one application which communicate with one data logger unit (temperature monitoring unit) and download records after some interval. Unit continuously send current temperature which I have to show on screen and after each one hour I have to download log (all records saved inside unit at max 1024) from unit.
Now problem is after downloading log, application get hang or what we called working in background and resume after some time. If I pause debugger in visual studio 2008 it show control at application start (sub main) with message as "application will resume here after completing execution of current function". There is nothing in output window. So how can i trace is there any events got spool or what actually application doing in background.
Does anyone have a nice sample of a unit convertor handling multiple unit types that I can integrate in my application? I have found this one, but it is only handling one type of unit. For example I want to convert weight as well as volume from and to imperial units.
View 8 RepliesIn my company, we make software which we use to test certain skills and intelligence factors of people. Some of those tests are time bound. On the test page, there is an asp control that shows the time remaining. When you right click that control, the javascript that provides the time is interrupted. To solve that, we disabled right-clicking. But now i've noticed that if you do a selection of some text and click the IE8 accelerator blue button, the javascript is also interrupted. Disabling the left-click if of course no option.
I've found an option in IE that disables the accelerator, so for us internally, the issue is solved. But we would like to find another solution, just because we cannot ask every one of our customers to go disable that option on all their computers.

If I try to debug the following code using the Test With -> Debugger option from within VS2010, it falls over on _object.DoSomething() with an Object reference not set to an instance of an object. error. It builds and passes successfully in NUnit.

TDD is supposed to have 100% code coverage. Does this mean one is supposed to write tests for property getter and setters, and other methods that contain no real logic, such as dealing with external API functionality? Below is one example method (which happens to also be the example in this other SO question which deals with how best to test it, if we are going to test it). This method doesn't do much. It's a facade of theSystem.ServiceProcess.ServiceController functionality of stopping a service. Currently this code was not being written using TDD, but if it was, would it be something that one should test? There is very little logic here.est to test it (IoC & Adapter Pattern vs. Detouring) please see this other SO question.

I want to report the status of multiple tests to the user like this:
Test1 PASS
Test2 PASS
Test3 FAIL
where the PASS should be green and the FAIL should be red. The number of tests is not known at design time, so I can't make N rows of labels and set their properties at run time. If I put all of that text in a single label, is there a way I can turn some of the words green and some of them red?
I have a class that uses My.Computer.Network.Ping to get a boolean value on whether a IP address or hostname is reachable.However, when I'm testing that class, I want to disable pinging so that during the test whenever I run the My.Computer.Network.Ping it will always return false or throw some kind of exception.
I have tried the following, but I still get a true returned (meaning, the attempts to disable ping didn't work)
Dim restricited As New System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInformationPermission(System.Security.Permissions.PermissionState.None)
Dim mySocketPermission1 As New SocketPermission(PermissionState.None)

I am doing automation testing of a web application using selenium. While running automation testing of web application you encounter application errors. Is there any way to detect those exceptions. Specially exceptions that are on the page which causes the page to hang up as it is not finding the element it is looking for or page stays on the same page and waitforpage() function keeps running.
View 1 RepliesI'm working with .NET 3.5 and Nunit 2.5.10. I'm attempting to write some tests to validate our role-based security enforcement through the PrincipalPermissionAttribute at a class-level. The test appears to succeed (it gets a green checkmark) and the Assert.Throws call properly catches the exception, and all my other assertions about the exception pass. However, once TearDown is complete after a test has run, the exception is re-thrown by NUnit. So even though the test "passed", every one of the tests shows that an exception was unhandled exception was thrown 'while executing' the test run.
I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure it out. My test is:
Public Sub New_TheForm_NoRoles_DeniesAccess()
' attempt to create a new instance of the form, but it should throw an exception with an inner SecurityException
Dim ex As TypeInitializationException = Assert.Throws(Of
[Code]....
Basically, Initialize is normally called in the application with Nothing so that we use the Windows Principal. During unit testing, we instead initialize it with a GenericPrincipal that has no roles, so that we can test that a SecurityException is thrown.
The tests are passing, but NUnit just seems to be re-throwing the exception post-Teardown.
I am struggling to write code for single-answer multiple choice tests (i.e. Choices A, B, C, D).
View 11 RepliesI want to encapsulate the use of Excel Interop to make it easier to use somehow in a reuseable library.So far, I have written some tests that work good altogether, except that between each test, I force Excel to quite so that it does have handle on the test file no more in order to be able to delete.Once I quit the application instance between after each of my tests, Excel seems to be no longer responding, causing Windows to display "Excel has stopped working and is looking for a solution"
message. This message lasts a few seconds, meanwhile Excel is closing, causing the hang on the file to occur and my tests to throw an exception like "Cannot access file because it is being used by another process..."

I have written up troubleshooting documents for my project and would like them included in my program. I remember in VB6 there was a very easy way to do this with a control, where it already has the help document tree set up on the left and you just set it to point to certain files.
Does something like this exist for .NET? I am aware of the HelpProvider control but as far as I know this just puts in tooltips and opens documents on a button press?
The regularity and frequency of that extolling is an indication of how many people, for whatever reason, don't use the documentation. Some say that I've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner, but I remember using the MSDN documentation as a beginner. I remember that I couldn't always find what I needed and I also remember that I didn't always understand what I found. More importantly, I remember that that didn't stop me using it first every time I had an issue and I also remember getting better at using it over time. So, I'm genuinely interested to know, if you don't use the MSDN documentation?

View 4 RepliesHere's an example of a wasted day:
(1) I want to find out exactly what Binding.FormattingEnabled does.
(2) I type MSDN Binding.FormattingEnabled into google and go to the page.
(3) I read the 3, 'helpful', line description.
(4) I check out the bottom of the page for references.
(5) Never mind, non of those helped....
(6) I search google and find nobody seems to know what the property does in its entirety.
(7) I open up reflector and spend hours in a tangled web before being 70% sure I know what's going on.
(8) I carry on coding, but the 30% is niggling at me.
(9) Repeat 6 - 8 ad nauseum ...
There must be a better way!
I'm using VS.Net 2008 Express edition, btw.
ETA: The FormattingEnabled property was just an example, this is more of a general question. Using reflector, I'm about 94.314% sure of how it works..
I am simply searching how to obtain errors/warning for each function/member that isnt documented. Im pretty sure I managed to do this on one of my projects, but cant find how to do it here on my workstation. I have looked into the project props, the solution props, but cant find it. I must have missed something, or maybe I could do this at home with an extension.

I was wondering what options i have in order for me to create documentation for the applications i write? i.e. Some documentation for code written and some general comments on what the application is doing etc?
After a quick search i noticed a few options but most seem to be using VS 2003 (prefer something for 2010)
I am using something similar to this and it will not display the Summary or Remarks when I am attempting to use the Intellisense for this function?

One of the Projects in my VB.NET Solution seemed unwilling to let me write XML Documentation in my code. When tapping ''' on the line directly above a method declaration, nothing would happen. The project consisted of modules and classes only(no forms), so I initially thought that had something to do with it.
Later I found that under project properties and the Compile tab, the "Generate XML documentation file" checkbox was left unchecked. Checking this instantly allowed me to place the comments normally. After doing some testing, I also found that Creating an Empty project leaves the checkbox unchecked, while creating a Windows Application automatically checks it.
how to call or reference an item from an xml document. I hava a java app that i'm converting over to vb.net. The java application uses the digester class to to parse the information. The app uses 2 classes and the xml file. one class is the Vb.net Parameter class (fully converted from Java to vb.net) that pulls the information out of the xml document and then places it when called into the 2nd class file.
I'm pretty sure that i need to use the system.xml class to do this however i'm having or just not reading the examples properly.
I have partially converted the code over to vb.net, it still has some java references.

I have been searching for the ability to utilize the three apostrophe means for auto-documentation ( ''' ) outlining but just can't find the IDE setting for such.
