FileCombiner Freeware
I've decided to delve more into fully unit-tested code and write an application from scratch using TDD methodologies after being re-invigorated by Robert C. Martin's fantastic Craftsman article series ( http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/publishedArticles.html -- click on the "Test Driven Development" category).
I'm using NUnit ( http://www.nunit.org/index.php ) to do unit tests, with TestDriven.NET ( http://www.testdriven.net/quickstart.aspx ) used along with an obsolete version of NCover ( http://www.ncover.com ).
I have no complaints with NUnit, but TestDriven.NET has some strangeness in studio 2008 that I will detail shortly, once I make sure the issues that I am facing are not simply due to PEBKAC on my part. NCover seems quite nice to be able to have a way to see NUnit coverage, without resorting to the MS tools (which do not seem to play nicely with external testing frameworks like NUnit).
Next steps:
-
Try new version of NCover and review it (the version I have now does not seem to respect the setup and teardown attributes before running tests)
-
Complete first release of FileCombiner (I'd estimate the initial features are at about 85%, with ~85% code coverage according to NCover)
-
Publish release, with unit tests.
-
Beautify the UI; use WPF, include progress bar and diminish use of textbox as a vehicle for reporting progress
