Silverlight2 Unit Testing Slides
- 1. Silverlight 2 Unit Testing Andre John Cruz MVP – Visual C#
- 2. Silverlight 2 Up-coming version of the Silverlight browser plugin with a mini version of the .NET Framework Richer functionality than Silverlight 1.0 Currently in beta
- 3. Unit Testing Testing a specific portion or unit of a system Can mean different things to different people Unit = Small Automated unit testing: Test-first (TDD) Test-after
- 4. Why Unit Test? Illustration:
- 5. Automated Unit Testing Usually with a tool like NUnit or MSTest Silverlight presents new challenges Silverlight 2 code runs in the browser (client) UI testing is usually tricky
- 6. Silverlight 2 Testing Framework Adaptation of MSTest for Silverlight 2! Browser-based unit test runner Capability to do UI testing
- 7. How? Download Silverlight 2 beta 1, and Visual Studio 2008 Tools for Silverlight 2 Silverlight Testing Framework is included in the source code for Silverlight controls!
- 8. How? (part 2) Download the Silverlight test templates from www.jeff.wilcox.name Ensure you have these DLLs Microsoft.Silverlight.Testing.dll Microsoft.Silverlight.Testing.Framework.dll Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTesting.Silverlight.dll Mark your test class with the [TestClass] attribute and your test methods with [TestMethod]
- 10. UI Testing Strategies Separation of concerns Don’t put everything in code behind! Small steps You can make use of patterns such as Model-View-Presenter (MVP) You can also add controls to the “testing surface” and assert against their properties
- 11. Examples Adding controls to the testing surface Steps: Reference the app/control library in your test project Derive your test class from the SilverlightTest class Add your control to the TestSurface Testing surface gets cleared before every test method run
- 12. Examples Adding controls to the testing surface Observations: Very helpful to use the [assembly:InternalsVisibleTo] attribute Use “internal” methods instead of “private” for your event handlers so you can force-trigger them from your tests
- 13. Examples Use of Model-View-Presenter pattern Very well-suited to view-centric frameworks such as Windows Forms and Silverlight/WPF Allow you to test view logic without having a view ;)
- 14. Future Directions Silverlight 2, Testing Framework still in beta! ScottGu mentioned… Possible UI Automation API (e.g. simulate mouse/keyboard actions in code) This is more appropriately called “integration testing” Tighter integration into VS 2008 IDE
