The last few weeks for me have been rough with news of a serious illness in my extended family. As such I have missed a great deal of the PDC and other news. Due to this I have also pulled out of the DDD conference next month, my thanks to all that voted for it and hopefully next year I will get my wish...

I presented MbUnit at the Manchester ThoughtWorks geek night last Wednesday, it was a great night with lots of great questions and feedback. It was really great meeting folks who use MbUnit day to day, it really validates the work we do on the project. I think for DDD I'll change the format of my talk...

Factories in MbUnit work in much the same way in v2 (where they have been available since the start) and v3, in v2 we would use a Factory as follows. .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, Monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white...

"You said no RowTest post!" I know I did but this v3 feature I'd like to talk about, Row value headers, let's look at this example. .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: Consolas, "Courier New", Courier, Monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white-space: pre;*...

This is the first of series of posts I'll be running on MbUnit, I'll focus on v2 first and then show an example in v3. I won't focus on RowTest as this is a popular feature and is well known both by the MbUnit audience and by other frameworks. For the opening post I'll focus on the TypeFixture, let's...

Jeff's recent post I cannot repeat enough , with both MbUnit and Gallio we have made sure that we have credited folks where we have reimplemented their ideas and concepts. If they took the time to come up with the concept\idea then we feel it was only right to credit them for that concep\idea, while...

One of the changes made in MbUnit v3 alpha 3 was support for the Visual Studio Team System test runner. As Jeff points out, we are the first to offer this kind of support. At the moment the support is experimental but we will be driving foward more in the coming weeks and months. You will need to install...

Jeff has news on a couple of updates to the MbUnit v3 beta 3 release including. R# 4.0 final support Factory attribute support Repeat and ThreadedRepeat attributes support CSV data source metadata Pex support Contract verifiers The R# 4.0 support does mean that you can run MbUnit 3.0 and 2.0 in R# but...

I've proposed a session for MbUnit at one of the UK's best free 1 day conferences, DDD7. DDD7 will be held later this year at Microsoft UK's hq down in Reading but is organised and talks given by non Microsoft staff. The session is based on the one I gave at AgileNorth last year however I'll also be...

If you have not already done so, check out Jeff's post on changes to make TestFixture optional . As Jeff notes, Jim and Brad took this line in XUnit and after consultation it was decided for MbUnit to support this. Note, it's optional so your existing tests won't break but if refactoring it out makes...
