Unit Testing - Video or Podcasts

I am looking for podcasts or videos on how to do unit testing.

Ideally, they should cover both the basics and more complex topics.

There are two episodes on Dnr TV with JP Boodhoo where he gives an introduction to test development:

If you want to see unit testing and TDD used with a number of other flexible practices, I would recommend watching the sceencast Autumn Agile series. This series shows the development of a fully tested application from start to finish.

Regarding podcasts, check out the following:

Since mock objects are a fairly important part of unit testing, these podcast episodes may also be of interest:

I know that you didn’t ask for a book, but ... May I also mention that the TDD Beck book is a must-read, although it may seem like the date of the first book in the first passage (and Effective work with outdated code by Michael S. Perry , of course, is the bible). In addition, I would add Martin (& Martin) Agile Principles, Patterns and Techniques as really helping in this regard. In this space (brief / distilled testing information) is also an excellent ebook programming basics . Goob testing books I've read, The Art of Testing Units and xUnit Test Patterns . The latter is an important antidote to the former, since it is much more measured than Roy’s book is very stubborn and offers many unqualified “facts” without proper analysis of various options. Of course, we recommend reading both books. AOUT is very readable and thought-provoking, although it selects specific [controversial] technologies; xUTP is deep and neutral and really helps strengthen your understanding. After that, I read Pragmatic module testing in C # with NUnit . It's good and balanced, albeit a bit dated (it mentions RhinoMocks as a sidebar and doesn't mention Moq) - even if nothing is really wrong. An updated version of this document will be advisory.

Most recently, I re-read the book Feathers , which is to some extent timeless and covers important soil. However, it is more “like for 50 different people” in nature. It is definitely a must read though.

Most recently, I read the excellent Growing Object Oriented Software, guided by tests by Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce . I can’t recommend it highly enough - it really ties everything together, big and small in terms of where TDD fits, and the different levels of testing within the software architecture. While I toss the kitchen sink, the Evans DDD Book is also important in terms of the fact that the cost of building things gradually increases with manic refactoring in order to be in a better place.

Google employee and test evangelist Misko Hevery is definitely the authority for unit testing. I am surprised that it has not been mentioned yet. He is one of the best teachers there, unit testing or not. In fact, I didn’t really talk about one unit testing until I saw one of its “throws”. He gives clear, professional, focused lectures and 9 times out of ten has something interesting. In my book, he is there with Yegge in terms of influential developers. In addition, he makes subtle botanical jokes as an added bonus, which I find funny.

JP Boodhoo is a great guy on unit testing and BDD. He made several videos on how to do unit testing on mvp templates.

I agree with Andrew. Misko Hevery is pretty thoughtful about testing. His testability-explorer project is an innovation for evaluating your code as evidence of further refactoring based on some existing metrics.

Here are 2 really good introductory talks about TDD, BDD, and unit testing. Speakers are authors on this subject, and both books are great.

Rob Coneyry covers a little of this in his Store Front . But probably it is not worth it if you did not get into ASP.Net MVC material.

Here is a link to a video by Hadi Hariri on how Mocks makes connection testing easier

Making tests easier with Mocks Mocking allows you to perform functions during tests, allowing you to focus on the system under test and less on other subsystems. This session covers the idea of ​​bullying and shows some of the existing fake frameworks. Learn how to make good use of layouts and what are the differences between states and behavior tests.

Here is a link to a Robert Love video on how Building Block Tests with DUnit for delphi
