Unit testing MVVM in Silverlight

Unit testing MVVM in Silverlight Timmy Kokke Silverlight / ASP.Net Developer UNIT4 Internet Solutions Expression Blend MVP

Agenda • Basics of MVVM • Unit Testing • Silverlight Unit Testing framework • StatLight

Basic MVVM View ViewModel Model

Basic MVVM View Databinding Commands ViewModel Methods Events Model

Unit Testing Unit tests are consistent,isolated, fastand repeatable

Unit Testing • Test only small units of work • TestName = Requirement • 1 Assert per test • Self explanatory • Readability over Maintainability

Silverlight Unit Test Framework • Silverlight Toolkit http://silverlight.codeplex.com • Runs in browser, no support for MsTest

Writing Tests Demo

Writing Tests • [TestClass] • public class ExampleTests{ • [TestMethod] • public class Adding_1_And_1_Should_Be_2(){ • int result = 1 + 1; • Assert.AreEqual(2, result); • } • }
