Extracting out interfaces for unit testing constructors

chuckdawit asked:

Open original thread
I have the constructor below. My question is:
1. Should I extract out interfaces for the objects being created in the constructor and then mock those objects with some mocking framework? 2. How would I test this constructor?

Constructor:
C#
protected SomeObjectIveCreated1 member1{ get; set; }
private readonly SomeObjectIveCreated2 member2;

public MyConstructor(string name)
        {
            this.member0= name;
            this.member1= new SomeObjectIveCreated1(this as ISomeInterface);
            this.member2= new SomeObjectIveCreated2();
        }

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
