4. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! So to gauge the audience: Know what unit tests are? Realize that unit tests are something that you write not something you do? Think that they are a great idea but something that you don’t have time for? Questions

5. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! Unit Tests are hard Unit Tests are for people who don’t know how to program. My project isn’t big enough to need unit tests. I’m the only one working on my project. My client doesn’t pay for unit tests. We are on a compressed time line, we don’t have time for unit tests. Reasons People Don’t Unit Test

7. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! Unit Test as a function of code Unit Test vs. Functional Test What is a unit test?

8. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! This is a Unit Test

9. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! DEMO ! (HELLO WORLD!)

10. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! Major implementations should interact through the veil of an interface. Programming to an interface improves modularity. It encourages looser coupling. Mocking classes can get complicated. It’s just good design! Interface based programming

11. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! An artificial object that mimics the behavior of a complicated class for the purpose of simplifying testing. Example: You would mock the following in your tests: Database Calls File System Calls Web Service Calls Mocks

12. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! Many of the interaction points for modules and scheduled tasks are complicated and do not supply Interfaces. Functionality such as database access requires instantiation of classes originating from DNN. Unit Testing in DNN

13. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! Ninject is a lightweight, full featured IoC container for use with dependency injection. Open Source Available at http://www.ninject.org/http://www.ninject.org/ Ninject to the Rescue

14. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! To make the application more testable we will create 2 Standard Kernels that will be responsible for filling dependencies: In production code we will use the real kernel In testing we will use the testing kernel to return mock objects. In scheduled tasks this will be inserted at the beginning of custom code. In views the presenter will be instantiated from Kernel Building Interfaces at Boundaries

15. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! Because of state some objects don’t work well with direct instantiation. DataContext is a good example. Reusing a data context for multiple calls can result in a time out, that leads to exception, which leads to GC. To avoid this create factory classes that produce instance classes. Building Factories for Instance Objects

16. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! Demo! The Skeleton

17. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! NUnit xUnit, spiritual successor to NUnit MBUnit Visual Studio Built-In Suffers from problems related testing x86/x64 in the same project. Integrates well with performance testing and can use unit tests for load testing Unit Testing Frameworks and Tools

18. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! Build automation Code Coverage Performance testing Where to go from here

19. @DNNCon Don’t forget to include #DNNCon in your tweets! When it comes to unit testing, there is a very fine line between code reuse and masking issues. If possible write your code as test driven, this will produce leaner code. Aim for the 90% mark, but 80% is the accepted boundary. Use asserts carefully, make sure that what you are asserting is the actual correct behavior. Best Practices
