In The Brain of Gojko Adzic: FitNesse.NET Tips and Tricks
FitNesse.NET Tips and Tricks
In this talk, Gojko Adzic talks about efficient usage of FitNesse within the dotNET environment. FitNesse is an enhancement to the Fit acceptance testing framework. FitNesse provides a collaborative environment for agile acceptance testing which can be automated with Fit test fixtures. It saves a lot of time by writing fixture code efficiently. The talk also covers the new features of FitNesse R1.8. With these tricks, it is possible to write tests without writing any fixture code.
Gojko demonstrates how to use FitNesse on a simple sample domain. The sample acceptance test checks if the links are stored properly in the repository. Fixture types like row fixture, setup fixture and do fixture are used for this purpose. The trick of using System Under Test (SUT) for flow fixtures and sequence fixtures allows us to work around the limitation of extending the Fixture class.
SUT methods and fixture methods can be mixed or SUT’s can be switched rapidly from the test page by using some new keywords lie “with” and “name” and by using subset fixtures. Another trick is to use automatic domain object wrapping which allows us to use the domain class in the table header instead of using a fixture. Cell handlers can be used to tell FitNesse how to interpret a set of cells. Gojko gives an example of using regex for this purpose. Using suite configuration files to keep test pages tidy is another trick that is explained.
