Visual Studio 2008 and Unit Testing
Blog Date: 3/19/2008
I recently installed and started working with the RTM version of VS2008. And I can tell you this much--I love it. I'm not a big fan of the rounded corners and unnecessary aesthetic changes, but I love everything else I've seen so far. It's great to target frameworks. Hmmm... I guess I should check version compatilbilities for solutions-- but then again, who am I fooling. This is Microsoft, and versioning is kind of afterthought, lol.
I started looking into the Unit Testing capabilities of Visual Studio 2008, and it's great that it can generate an entire project for you. The challenge I'm trying to solve in my current Unit Testing research is how to properly unit test my current project. It is exposed through web services and it consists heavy calls. The problem is it may be a single call that is heavy, so the benefits of design patterns is greatly reduced. So, how do I target my unit tests? Obviously the challenge is to eliminate bottlenecks. But I guess I'll talk to other team members after I've done some inital Unit Testing. After all, my goal is to take these Unit Tests and build some Load Tests out of them.
Wish me luck, lol.
