Real World Test Driven Development: Unit Testing Enterprise Solutions

Join us at the Perth .NET Community of Practice, Thursday March 5th to hear Rhys Campbell present on the essentials of TDD and how it encourages good software design as opposed to just having tests. Rhys will cover the differences between unit, acceptance and integration tests, why conventional unit test examples often do not work in the real world, what to test and what to mock, automating your tests, coding examples of how to use Mocks, Stubs, Fakes, Dummies and Spies... what are they and how do they help me.

TOPIC:    Real World TDD with Rhys Campbell
DATE
:     Thursday, March 5th, 5:30pm
VENUE:  Excom, Ground Floor, 23 Barrack Street, Perth
COST:     Free. All welcome

Rhys Campbell is a software developer currently contracting in Perth, WA. He recently returned from London, where he has been active in the .NET community, attending and speaking at the 2008 Seattle and London Alt.NET Open Spaces. Rhys is interested in design, architecture, patterns and bringing best practices from other communities to .NET. Rhys is a director of ArtemisWest.

Hey guys please note the talk will involve heavy use of the .net 3.5(c# 3.0) aspects including lambdas, extension methods, Action<>, Func<> etc etc

This is not a talk on .Net 3.5 so it is assumes that everyone is up to play with these concepts.

For those that want to get ahead of the curve i will be using Rhinomocks 3.5 (release, not trunk), a standard unit test framework (n/Mb/xunit or Mstest). Feel free to have a play with these. We will not dive in to the depths of these but focus more on concepts that these tools faciltate.

Cheers Rhys
