In the famous words of Jesse from the Fast show...

This week I 'ave mostly been eating MbUnit.

Andrew has spent several months persuading me of the virtues of MbUnit and it's finally paid off. I've moved the last of my NUnit tests over the MbUnit today.

What's sparked off this mass migration is one really simple feature that MbUnit provides that NUnit does not, the RowTest.

The RowTest allows me to pass in different arguments to the same unit test in an itterative fashion, effectivly reducing the number of tests I have to write by a factor of the variations of parameters a sequence of code could possibly have, in some cases this can be hundreds.

Here's a test I've put together for a session on unit testing in .NET and ASP.NET that I'm giving in Newcastle later this week.

[RowTest()]
[Row(0, 0, false)]
[Row(0, 1, true)]
[Row(0, -1, false)]
[Row(0, 0.1, true)]
[Row(0, -0.1, false)]
public void CheckNorthOfEquator(double Longitude, double Latitude, bool IsInNorth)
{
    OurClassLibrary.Point P = new OurClassLibrary.Point();
    P.Longitude = Longitude;
    P.Latitude = Latitude;
    bool Actual = OurClassLibrary.PositionManager.IsNorthOfEquator(P);
    Assert.AreEqual(Actual, IsInNorth);
}

The RowTest is a really slick feature and it's one I've fallen in love with.
