Blogs are a fabulous way to share knowledge, and for incremental learning, but they’re a tough way to grok an entire underlying concept. Something I’ve never quite grokked are mocks and stubs, until last week. My favorite development mag’s latest issue is dedicated to open source tools in .NET development. One article focuses completely on mocks and stubs, Isolating Dependencies in Tests Using Mocks and Stubs. After reading this, I thought "wow, I need to get me a mocking framework". One of the popular mock frameworks mentioned was TypeMock.
Enter TypeMock today. A short time ago, I get this in my FeedDemon:
Unit Testing ASP.NET? ASP.NET unit testing has never been this easy.
Typemock is launching a new product for ASP.NET developers – the ASP.NET Bundle – and for the launch will be giving out FREE licenses to bloggers and their readers.The ASP.NET Bundle is the ultimate ASP.NET unit testing solution, and offers both Typemock Isolator, a unit test tool and Ivonna, the Isolator add-on for ASP.NET unit testing, for a bargain price.
Typemock Isolator is a leading .NET unit testing tool (C# and VB.NET) for many ‘hard to test’ technologies such as SharePoint, ASP.NET, MVC, WCF, WPF, Silverlight and more. Note that for unit testing Silverlight there is an open source Isolator add-on called SilverUnit.
The first 60 bloggers who will blog this text in their blog and tell us about it, will get a Free Isolator ASP.NET Bundle license (Typemock Isolator + Ivonna). If you post this in an ASP.NET dedicated blog, you’ll get a license automatically (even if more than 60 submit) during the first week of this announcement.
Also 8 bloggers will get an additional 2 licenses (each) to give away to their readers / friends.Go ahead, click the following link for more information on how to get your free license.
Serendipity, baby! Hope I’m one of the first 60.
