I would create a façade class to interface with the PaymentGateway. It should have only methods you need and deal only with those gateway calls that you need...
... I have worked in this area before. Your Payment Gateway should provide a test server. Often there is a different Webservice or Port. Talk to your Payment...
Yes, certainly create a façade to the gateway. To do the 'study' as you call it (often called a spike), do it as a piece of TDD. That is, call out to the...

Hi Philip, Thanks for the reply. See inline. -T [TNS] <snip> ... We need to start by narrowing the terms down. A test _case_ is a function that Assembles test...

I apologize if this is the wrong forum. Please redirect me if necessary. Just thought 1 of you might know. If I want to build .NET 3.5 code (e.g. LINQ, etc)...
I use the csc task which works fine in 2.0. For 3.5 I swapped it out temporarily with an <exec> task and it just calls the command line compiler. You can go...
Philip, Thank you! I see what you mean about violating LSP. I tried to figure out what led me down this path, it looks like it was state based testing. I redid...

Hi Kumbhkaran, ... Normally, I would test 1) Each step 2) The object that sequences steps (using dummy steps or mocks) 3) The object that tells the sequencer...
We have NAnt calling msbuild to compile our csproj files. It works great. I haven't totally learned msbuild, yet, but I am not in any rush, since I agree that...
The file is called 'test_duck_squeezer.rb'. As you can tell all three tests pass, but if I was to run these three in deployment, I would fail. It is because of...
