Late to the party, but I agree with Chad, here. The #1 benefit I've gotten from BDD is ensuring that before I write any Asserts or Expectations that I ...
The key with spec# in this discussion is that you PROVE these things that you assert can NEVER go wrong. As such you get the best of both worlds and don't...

I've used Debug.Assert, and I've tried Trace.Assert in the past, but I haven't found anything better than doing asserts with an informative exception. If a...
... If that's the only link between it and DDD then I think it's a little weak, we've used the UL in our TDD tests for the domain model since day one. If you...
Depends on the cost of the verification. A checked build that validate outgoing messages against a schema is a typical example. That said, I see no difference...
Hello This is not really a alt.net question, but I figured this would be a great place to post it. Since I'm pretty sure that people in this forum have the...
I'd take a loot at the capabilities and limitations of each tool and weight those in with what "feels right." Another really good thing to look at is what the...
I agree with Ben here. I too examined many ORMs before settling on NHibernate. Something that was important for me was the API I would need to use and how I...

I'm working on chapter 8 of my upcoming book <http://artofunittesting.com/>and I need to come up with a good example of over specification in unit tests, that...
A few simple examples of overspecification: - A test that depends on multiple unrelated concerns in order to accomplish its tasks. -> Should be using mocks...
... (fragile ... I guess I'm influenced a lot by Meszaros but my main thoughts when I hear about over specification is what he describes as "overspecified ...
100% agree. I would only use Debug.assert in the rarest of situations, where as mentioned above, a standard DBC assert would be cost prohibitive in release...

I would've thought it was quite reasonable to assert several conditions (range checking for example) in one test, I thin the one assertion per test is quite...
