    I think we'd better run that up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it.

            Whenever I am bored doing programming, I ask myself, why can't the computer do this, which has led to some interesting tools over the years. I still don't see why we don't have tools that generate the unit tests for us. I mean, it really isn't that hard if we were only to apply ourselves to the problem. Marc

              Funny thing is, I don't even know what "_Unit tests_" are. :laugh: I did go to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit\_testing) to learn something... Ended up yawning! :zzz: There was no challenge, just boring text... _[Lorem ipsum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem\_ipsum)_ sounds better than that.

                                No, I haven't tried it.  I've been building my unit tests manually so far.  Admittedly, I don't test every method and property - just (what I deem to be) points of failure. /ravi

                                  Thanks for the link. It's always useful to read a different perspective on an important subject.

                                  If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                                    No, the most boring activity a developer can be involved in is a four hour meeting you have to attend, of which the last five minutes are relevant to your job. If you are lucky. And then ***someone*** will say "oh, just one other thing..." And that'll add another hour or two.

                                          True, but I've never tried, as I expect to be disappointed. Have you tried it? Marc

                                          I haven't either; but it looks like it's just a test stub generator. You'd still have to do the hard work of writing any non-trivial setup code, and then actually writing meaningful test content. The one in VS08/10 was a major waste of time IMO; and it appears MS agrees with me since based on the comments there they yanked it from 2012. I've also played a bit with MS's automagic unit testing tool back around the New Year. While it fell well short of its "cover your legacy code in a single button click" hype; if you're writing readily testable code now it seemed like it might be able to generate good test coverage of it. Things like non-trivial state setup, logic in winform event handlers, or classes with tight coupling to the file system all defeated it; unfortunately my un-unit tested legacy .net code is riddled with those constructs making it mostly useless to me. (Even aside from only having MSDN pro - and the feature apparently being limited to the rebranded Premium tier.)

                                          Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
