NUnit Pocket Reference

by Bill Hamilton

Book Overview

Few .NET developers have the luxury of unlimited code testing once their application is complete, and rushing through the testing process is both problematic and stressful. The open source NUnit framework provides an excellent and efficient way to test and improve .NET code as it's written, saving hundreds of QA hours and headaches.

Handy reference for Unit Test authoring

Using NUnit? Get this pocket reference. NUnit is very straight forward to use, but there are some basics you need to get under your belt before you dive into creating Unit Tests. This guide covers those basics, describes how things are working under the hood, and helps you further your understanding of the value of Unit Testing. It's a great learning tool as well. Keep it near by when you're building new Unit Tests, or modifying existing ones. I've found it useful in understanding some other people's code and why they took the approach they did in their Unit Test design and implementation.

Concise and Useful

This pocket reference is very useful for getting NUnit running and to get you started on making test harnesses of your own. Great buy.

Straightforward to use

Unit testing is an ideal that many programming projects should aspire to. Like yours, eh? In Java, that gave rise to JUnit. Well, as .NET has grown, so did the need for unit testing in it. From the open source movement, we now have NUnit. Still not as well known as JUnit. Which may add to the need for this book. A quick pocket reference that is competently done. Lets you easily thumb through and get what you need. The attraction of NUnit is that it can automate a framework for unit testing. There is really not much to NUnit, as attested by the book. But, then again, there is not much need for anything more complicated.
