Automated Exploratory Testing

An entry about tdd | tools Publication date 23. May 2008 17:14

I caught wind of this from Rune Grothaug's blog; he writes that Microsoft Research has published the beta of a Visual Studio plugin called PEX - Program EXploration. Basically, it is a tool that generates unit tests. It works by having you write what they call a "parameterized unit test", from which PEX then helps you generate a traditional test suite through an iterative process. It looks pretty awesome, and seems to be very test-first oriented as well, which is great. Below is a grab from the screen cast they've published showing it in action. Go check it out here - I'm definitively going to download this and have a play around with it sometime this weekend :)

Welcome!

My name is Fredrik Kalseth, and this is my blog - thanks for visiting! I am fortunate enough to work with what I love for a living, and this blog is essentially the biproduct of that.

I work as a senior consultant for Capgemini, and am also an active participant in the Norwegian .NET community, as an avid attendee but also as a speaker (most recently at NNUG and MSDN Live).

As a developer, I have a wide circle of interest. My primary passion is for agile, test-driven development, with focus on best practices and clean code. That said, I also love to work on the frontend, especially with web development.

On Twitter? My handle is fkalseth. On LinkedIn? I`m there too.
