Presentation: "Cogs in the machine: testing code embedded in an impenetrable framework"
Time:
Friday 12:00 - 13:00
Location:
Westminster Suite
Abstract: In this talk I'll describe a technique for unit-testing application code that runs inside impenetrable frameworks (such as Sharepoint, Silverlight, and BizTalk) that make such code inaccessible. We know we should write code that is easy to test because it has clean boundaries, but sometimes the vendors we work with make that kind of modularity just too hard. I will talk about how we can test such plug-in code by faking its environment in memory, simulating the underlying engines. As an example, I'll be showing SilverUnit, a framework to test code written for the Silverlight framework without driving through the browser. I'll talk about how the need for this sort of testing arose during silverlight development and how it allowed me to make sure my silverlight code worked as expected. even the UI logic.
