FitNesse, a popular Web-based test and collaboration server, is an enhancement to Fit (Framework for Integrated Testing) and an
invaluable way to collaborate on complicated problems early in development.
In January, Gojko Adzic published a free tutorial (PDF) ‘Getting Fit with .NET’ to get you on your way to testing .NET applications with FitNesse.
Available online and updated last month to cover Fit.NET 1.1 including a new chapter on DoFixture, working with arrays and business objects, topics include:
- Setting up a FitNesse server for testing .NET code
- Writing basic tests, performing common tasks
- Tips and tricks for writing better tests and making test pages easier to read
- Managing content with FitNesse
- Organizing tests into test suites
- Most important differences between .NET and Java versions
Definitely check it out if you’re considering using (or already are using!) FitNesse in your projects.
In related news - Adzic has also released DbFit, an extension of the Fit testing framework which allows database developers to write and automate functional and acceptance tests easily. Accompanying the first version of DbFit is ‘Getting Fit With Oracle’, a short introductory guide for test-driven Oracle database development using FitNesse and DbFit.
