In Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6 we are introducing the "Create Unit Tests" feature that provides the ability to create unit test method stubs. Hopefully they'll write them too. That would save so much effort and time.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I'm also expecting more from Microsoft. For writing a VS-Plugin that creates unit test method STUBS they could've asked me.

Sounds a lot like what Pex[^] already did?
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I suspect this is just Pex rebranded.

If the standard medical short-term memory loss tests ever expand to include IT there are going to be a good deal more false positives!

Rebranded and extended. Pex was limited to portable class libraries, Smart Unit Tests will also work on code targeting the full .net framework. OTOH if your legacy code wasn't written according to TDD flavor of the week styles, the odds are that it won't be able to generate useful tests. SUT ignores any methods that touch a WinForm UI control (at the most basic level, mocking input controls as strings/Booleans/enums would get about 90% of the way there), can't figure out the need for any non-injected dependencies (hint, if that static class is only initialized one way in the code base, that's probably the way it needs inited in the tests too), or anything that passes paths to the file system as strings (no, "a", "b", ... "aa", ... won't work as a pattern here; admittedly though this one doesn't have an 'obvious' better default behavior).
PS Yeah, yeah, yeah, at some point I should stop procrastinating, create a demo-legacy code project to replicate what I saw trying SUT against one of my work codebases and write an article on it.
PPS Have you seen a unicorn that farts rainbows that lead not to a pot of gold, but to a day of extra free time?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We pretend what we do is computer “science”. When in reality, its more art than science. "The central problem we face in all of computer science is how we are to get to the situation where we build on top of the work of others rather than redoing so much of it in a trivially different way."

Well, if others did work that was capable of being built upon...

If I were to re-implement something in a trivially different way, then shame on me. But the point of redoing prior work is for exactly the reason that it is not done in a trivially different way, but rather in a significantly different way, namely such that it can be built upon.

Nootropics—the name given to a broad class of so-called “cognitive-enhancing” drugs—are all the rage in Silicon Valley these days. Programmers like nootropics because they’re said to increase productivity and sharpen focus without the intensity or side effects of a prescription drug like Adderall or modafinil. Some users mix their own nootropics using big bins of powders, purchased off the Internet or in supplement stores. And some take pre-made “stacks” that are designed to produce specific effects.
