23-Nov-2011

Agenda

• What is different from testing regular apps• The performance hit of testing with a browser• What’s new in MVC that makes it more testable• What still remains in MVC that’s still hard to test• What needs to be tested – logic• Example – testing what’s written to the client• Example – testing an MVC controller• Example – testing for security logging• Example – testing control logic with Ivonna• Call to action – download Isolator.Net and Ivonna

ASP.Net apps hard to test

• Rely on server state• HttpContext and friends

• Testing through browser is:• Slow to run• Hard to debug

• ASP.Net is not test-friendly• HttpContext and friends

And MVC?

• More test-friendly• Works through interfaces• BaseHttpContext

• But not completely• For example: Redirection• And your code

Examples

• ASP.Net
