Tim, surely you are better off with the tests than without them. So, can you partition them and just run a fairly-fast subset most of the time, and run the...

... If you want to verify that the query returns the expected data, then I'm not sure you can avoid using a database. The good news is that you can use HSQLDB...
... I've never written a database driver, but I suspect that there is, for example, some Java code and some native code, and a bridge between the two. To test...
... When I test-drive code and I don't know what object it wants to be on (yet), I do something even simpler than writing a class-level routine on some utility...
... Hm. I know you meant to just throw this in, but the way I interpret this statement, it's awfully inconsistent with incremental design. I'm surprised your...

... Exactly. If I don't have a direct need for functionality, I don't implement it -- but if I actually realise that my implementation will blow up under some...
... Sorry, perhaps I was just obtuse. ... From my personal experience, I think your fear is likely based on assuming that you will need to expend a large...
I'm looking for examples (papers, books, other?) of unit tests written for NUnit that test remote calls for web services. Can anyone point me in the right...

I really like the TDD approach, and for the past few months of programming, I've been writing a unit test for pretty much every method/function I write. But I...

Hi David, Obviously, I'd have to learn more about how these mock objects work and would have to try them out, but the concept sounds very promising. Thanks, ...

If what your looking to do is test the Query itself, you could check out DBUnit (http://dbunit.sourceforge.net/). Its not perfect, but it can be very handy...
