Hi all,
Need your suggestions

How should i approach testing functions in a ASP.NET application.
Its not integration testing but a unit testing(functions) But the problem is

It is nearly impossible to isolate a function due to dependencies
Many funcition are expecting other objects like Page Class context, Configuration settings many more complex objects like session context... etc

now how can i test this methods using Nunit framework
how should i initialized these objects ?
should i use mock object concept ?
is Nunit framework appropriate tool for writing the test cases ?

Please suggest

Thanks and Regards
Sandeep

If you write good code, then your business tasks will be isolated from UI, and can be tested.

Thanks Chris for your reply

Thats the problem UI layer is having business rules implemented making quite hard to test the application.
We are going to rewrite the application using MVC architecture but before to that we need to write Nunit test cases for existing application.

You need to isolate the dependencies. Separate the code into several projects and have a single project for all your ASPX files. Now you can write tests for the other projects. Other projects should not get a reference to System.Web.

Sandeep Akhare wrote:

Probably yes. You need to create an interface which wraps HttpContext. Inject this interface as a dependency to your business classes. Read more about dependency injection[^].

In your test cases, you can mock this interface and set expectations. I suggest Rhino Mocks[^] for mocking.

It is a wise idea to program to interfaces than implementations.

Yes. Its a great piece of work.

You mean to seperate the business layer from UI only for Testing purpose ?

for other suggestions i need to look in to them.

Thanks for reply

Separating business logic from UI is good not only for testing but also for improved maintainability. If you have business logic tied close to UI, it will be hard to write automated test cases. So the first step in your case would be to re-factor code to support automated testing.

Architecture for Role based Applications

5-Aug-09 12:05

Hi Navneeth,

We are planning to re-factor the application for next release.
But for current application i have to write the test cases for such complex application.

I read the links you have mentioned but still i am not able to conclude anything

1. Wraping of httpContext :- does it mean creating the app domain for your application ?
2. inserting the dependency object still i am not sure how i will insert it ?

Problem is
Page is derived from one base class which is derived from another base class nad interfaces
There are many properties and objects some of these properties are readonly like sessionContext

Thanks and Regards
Sandeep

hi,
In my project, i have some roles like Department manager, Project manager, team leader,etc. Each member inroled in the role have some rights to view the progress of the on going project of the company.

i want to assign some rights to each group of users like team leader can only view the progress of part of his project & can take action for all the members in his team(assign work among members), on the other hand, project manager can view all the teams working under his project(can take action to all members working under him), same to the department manager can view all the projects of the department(same actions he can perform).

help me making some class hierarchy of my application which would help me.
at the time of login and got the role of the incoming user,now how i work over the controls e,g, same grid for all users but if project manager view the form it will only show the info of his project and if depart manager get login it will show all projects of the whole department.

i am looking for some "multi layer architecture" for the application.

looking for reply.

Hi...

See class and everything you can design as per your requirement.

I am giving answer to your last question....

while binding grid or dropdown each time u have to pass RoleId....& based on this role id only you fetch record from database only....

Hope your DB design will be fine so that u can use this roleid with inner join to other table.

but you do everything at db level only...

so if different different user will login they can see their related data only.

4-Aug-09 7:46

can you please more clarify your requirement....as you want to display XX , YY , ZZ horizontally?? what is the purpose to display like this....and after display you have to select or not....which event you have to fire???

Veera anil4-Aug-09 7:58

Re: dynamicaly adding check box's gridview in asp .net

4-Aug-09 7:58

Actually the "XX,YY,ZZ..." are the user name. so the user name are not fixed its dynamic it may increase or decrease .... so this names should display horizontally as a header with check box columns in the grid...
the main purposes is that giving authorization to a user for a particular area...

ex
Sno XX YY ZZ
1 _
2
3

if the user checks at xx at 1st position (ie '-') that he can access page "1"........

am i clear to explain u?

thank u

Here I will suggest you to use DataView or Repeater Control rather that GridView. Or use XSLT to render data on page, depends on requirments.

This is for your Reference
Check It

Hope this will help you Big Grin | :-D

Re: dynamicaly adding check box's gridview in asp .net

4-Aug-09 8:25

Ok....

you mean to say

abc.ASPX User_1 User_2 User_3 User_4
xyz.ASPX User_1 User_2 User_3 User_4
pqr.ASPX User_1 User_2 User_3 User_4

So if you select User_1, user_2 for abc.ASPX than this two user can see abc.ASPX

To implement this one with help of Gridview is to much lengthy process and time taking...because after selecting you have to store this data to Database....

also While binding this grid view if user have already rights for this page at that time u have to make them check at first time of page load.

Ao at time of saving you have to check whether user have already rights or not.

Better solution is to use two list box First listbox contain all page name and second Listbox contain all the use name....after secting page name on selected index change event u can fatch all the records from the DB for users....and on click of submit you can easily identify this one.
