Interest in unit tests?

[flyingpie]

So I think that unit tests are a great thing, but I'm not sure of too many places in this particular app where things would get better adding them.

That's because most of the code directly calls into specific Win32 stuff, like moving windows and detecting global hot keys. These can be mocked out, but that makes the accuracy (and therefore usefulness) way lower.

The only thing that would be useful to test would be the settings parser, which only has a dependency on a file watcher, which is more reasonable to mock out.

If your goal is mainly to get some hands-on experience around unit testing, I'd be happy to give some pointers there, but I think that the bulk of the app is fairly unfriendly for unit testing. Stuff like integration tests would be more useful, but these are way harder to make.

Fair enough. I understand.

I'd take your general pointers and perhaps you know any c# projects where testing is done properly in your opinion?

Thank you!
