It's the little things
July 17, 2008A while ago, I wrote a blog post regarding Test Data Builders Refined. Earlier this week, I wrote a very simple base class that provides an implicit cast operator for the builder class:
public abstract class TestDataBuilder<TSubject>
{
public abstract TSubject Build();
public static implicit operator TSubject(TestDataBuilder builder)
{
return builder.Build();
}
}
Even I can’t get it more complex than this :-).
If you and your team want to learn more about how to write maintainable unit tests and get the most out of TDD practices, make sure to have look at our trainings and workshops or check out the books section. Feel free to reach out at info. @ principal-it .be
