Workshop: "Interaction based testing with Rhino Mocks"

Track: Tutorial

Time: Thursday 09:00 - 12:00

Location: 421+423 Music Hall

Abstract:
Beyond the simplest scenarios, all objects had collaborators that they work with. This flies in the face of testing objects in isolation. This is the problem that mock objects were created to solve. In this talk you will learn what mock objects are, how to utilize them and best practices on when / how to utilize them. Rhino Mocks is a mock objects framework for .Net whose core goals are to let the developer rely on the compiler work well with refactoring tools.
 
Be sure to bring your laptop to this tutorial, if you want some hands-on experience!
