How do you mock a class? Is it something like this: “You are just a Person class. I bet you wished you were an Enployee class. Well you are not good enough, with or without inheritance!”

Sorry, just had to throw that out.

This testing strategy does require a level of investment. We’ve found this holistic approach especially effective when we know that this application is critical to our client’s business.

Interresting post
About Subcutaneous tests, I did not quite understood if you mocked all external dependencies such as services and databases?

We have unit tests which mock out service dependencies. And then we have integration tests that test interaction with external systems like the DAO layer, a web service call etc.

And then we have our functional tests which is what you call subcutaneous tests. We were using the term functional test because of lack of a good term for this. I like “subcutaneous” test since it makes this much more clear.

And finally we have our QA staff do manual testing end to end.

Thanks for posting. This gives me a much better handle of how to explain our testing strategy.

Excellent post.

I like your breakdown of test categories, it’s similar to what we do in our company, except full system test is completely manual for us And we call “Integration Tests” your “Subcutaneous Tests”.

Hi I would like to ask, about TDD.

Do you write a test that will define domain model classes ( etc. Employer class ). And what about property validation, I assume that you use dataanotations for that… is that done by tdd to ?

Could you write an article on TDD in MVC ? Many people has problems with that.
