This is a really funky little library that vastly improves assertions in your unit tests, whether you are using NUnit or MsTest. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and thought I would share some of the cool things you can do with this framework. I’ll start with the simple stuff and over the next few weeks work up to the more complex scenarios and finally to creating your own assertions and using this to map unit tests more closely to acceptance criteria. http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/07/03/FluentAssertions-Part-1.aspx chris.surfleet@googlemail.com http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/07/03/FluentAssertions-Part-1.aspx#comment http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post.aspx?id=8dfcfae2-2552-4260-9d39-e268a619e231 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 15:58:00 +0100 FluentAssertions Admin http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/pingback.axd http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post.aspx?id=8dfcfae2-2552-4260-9d39-e268a619e231 3736 http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/trackback.axd?id=8dfcfae2-2552-4260-9d39-e268a619e231 http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/07/03/FluentAssertions-Part-1.aspx#comment http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/syndication.axd?post=8dfcfae2-2552-4260-9d39-e268a619e231 This is the fifth, and for now, last, of my series of posts on AspectMap.

Multicasting is most often associated with networking, where it refers to the delivery of a message to multiple destinations at once from a single source. We are using the same concept here to describe the application of a single aspect to multiple methods, using a single attribute declaration - I show you how. http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/06/15/AspectMap-Part-4-MultiCast-Attributes.aspx chris.surfleet@googlemail.com http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/06/15/AspectMap-Part-4-MultiCast-Attributes.aspx#comment http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post.aspx?id=3c69f63d-fa5e-490a-ac11-219613eb6b4a Fri, 15 Jun 2012 14:23:00 +0100 AspectMap Admin http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/pingback.axd http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post.aspx?id=3c69f63d-fa5e-490a-ac11-219613eb6b4a 194 http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/trackback.axd?id=3c69f63d-fa5e-490a-ac11-219613eb6b4a http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/06/15/AspectMap-Part-4-MultiCast-Attributes.aspx#comment http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/syndication.axd?post=3c69f63d-fa5e-490a-ac11-219613eb6b4a This is part 3 of my series of posts on using AspectMap – an aspect oriented framework for StructureMap. In this post we’ll create a retry aspect which will allow you to retry the functionality of a method a specified number of times for a certain exception. For instance you could set a method up to try some SQL operation up to 4 times if it receives timeout exceptions. This will introduce you to the technique for inspecting the attribute that kicked off your handler. http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/06/11/AspectMap-Part-3-A-Retry-Aspect.aspx chris.surfleet@googlemail.com http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/06/11/AspectMap-Part-3-A-Retry-Aspect.aspx#comment http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post.aspx?id=3b7ca43b-b0ba-4147-be58-8a9cca9da058 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:35:00 +0100 AspectMap Admin http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/pingback.axd http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post.aspx?id=3b7ca43b-b0ba-4147-be58-8a9cca9da058 1015 http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/trackback.axd?id=3b7ca43b-b0ba-4147-be58-8a9cca9da058 http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/06/11/AspectMap-Part-3-A-Retry-Aspect.aspx#comment http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/syndication.axd?post=3b7ca43b-b0ba-4147-be58-8a9cca9da058 Welcome back to my series on using AspectMap. In this post I’ll walk you through the setup of a generic exception handler which can be assigned to any code you like with the addition of a single attribute. http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/06/07/AspectMap-Part-2-An-Exception-Handling-Helper.aspx chris.surfleet@googlemail.com http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/06/07/AspectMap-Part-2-An-Exception-Handling-Helper.aspx#comment http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post.aspx?id=b4f9f7ae-fdb6-44ef-8ed5-d7afcd534bf4 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:35:00 +0100 AspectMap Admin http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/pingback.axd http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post.aspx?id=b4f9f7ae-fdb6-44ef-8ed5-d7afcd534bf4 251 http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/trackback.axd?id=b4f9f7ae-fdb6-44ef-8ed5-d7afcd534bf4 http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/post/2012/06/07/AspectMap-Part-2-An-Exception-Handling-Helper.aspx#comment http://www.chrissurfleet.co.uk/syndication.axd?post=b4f9f7ae-fdb6-44ef-8ed5-d7afcd534bf4 So that’s it – version 1.0 of AspectMap is on NuGet!
