Wow... this blog has made me decide that I want to focus on software testing for my masters degree :P
<br>
<br>Great stuff..

Interresting topic. If I can give you a suggestion, try digging model based testing....

Not sure what it buys you. Wouldn't it be better to have a test container derived from Component as your drag target?
<br>You could have a wizzard that creates you TestContainer derived class then you could drag your tests onto the canvas. But, as I said, it doesn't count for much of the work required for writing a test - maybe just a better way to browse them. Maybe potentially in the future it could fire off GUIs to generate tests on based on reflection and IL analysis.

Actually, what I'm thinking about is to take advantage of the &quot;data binding&quot; potential of the designer:
<br>
<br>drag a test,
<br>drag a data source,
<br>bind both together,
<br>and boom, you got data based testing...

If you guys would stop putting all those damn bugs in your code, we wouldn't need all this testing!

Jeff,
<br>
<br>There 2 explanations for bugs: human factor and Halting Theorem. Do your homework.

Weak coffee also. ;)

Hello!
<br>
<br>I've downloaded <a title="MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework" href="http://mbunit.tigris.org" target="_blank">MbUnit</a> via command line as specified. I then added the components within <a title="MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework" href="http://mbunit.tigris.org" target="_blank">MbUnit</a>.Framework.DLL and <a title="MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework" href="http://mbunit.tigris.org" target="_blank">MbUnit</a>.Forms.DLL to the VS Toolbox.
<br>
<br>Whenever I try to add a TestCaseComponent instancen, I get an error message saying, that there has been an exception when creating an instance of <a title="MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework" href="http://mbunit.tigris.org" target="_blank">MbUnit</a>.Framework.ComponentModel.TestCaseComponent. The exception was &quot;Constructor for type <a title="MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework" href="http://mbunit.tigris.org" target="_blank">MbUnit</a>.Framework.ComponentModel.TestCaseComponent could not be found&quot;. Any hints what might go wrong here?
<br>
<br>Thanks,

Make sure your component has a default constructor. I don't support the constructor with IContainer yet.

Btw, don't add <a title="MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework" href="http://mbunit.tigris.org" target="_blank">MbUnit</a>.Forms.dll, it contains the controls for the <a title="MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework" href="http://mbunit.tigris.org" target="_blank">MbUnit</a>.GUI. All the component are in <a title="MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework" href="http://mbunit.tigris.org" target="_blank">MbUnit</a>.Framework

At first I tried to add the TestCaseComponent to a VS generated standard component. That failed.
<br>
<br>Then I tried to copy the code from your demo video above, which did not include a standard constructor. That failed as well.
<br>
<br>Now my code looks like this:
<br>
<br>using <a title="MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework" href="http://mbunit.tigris.org" target="_blank">MbUnit</a>.Framework.ComponentModel;
<br>
<br>namespace MbUnitTest
<br>{
<br> public class TestComponent :
<br> ComponentFixtureBase
<br> {
<br> public TestComponent()
<br> {
<br> }
<br> }
<br>}
<br>
<br>And it still fails.
<br>
<br>Am I missing something?

Well you have no tests! To simplify things, I've created a mini solution that contains a component and a test.
<br>You can download it at <a target="_new" href="http://blog.dotnetwiki.org/downloads/DragAndDropUnitTesting.zip">http://blog.dotnetwiki.org/downloads/DragAndDropUnitTesting.zip</a>

I can only load the source files. The projects files are generated with a version of VS which is newer than mine. Which one would that be? I though VS 2003 is the most recent version.

I'm using the VC# Express 2005 beta. The project in itself is not important.
<br>
<br>Open DragAndDropFixture.cs and put it in your 2003 project.
