testing ordinary methods using NUnit
|
|
|
| Hai,
I am new to NUnit.
Using NUnit, I can test a method, which return value is correct
or not.
But, how to test, a method parameter type and a method process,
that doesn't return any value.
Regards,
Raj

I've not used NUnit (I use JUnit & CxxTest) but in general, when it comes to
unit testing a method that doesn't return a value:
Does it modify any of the parameters you passed it? Make sure they were
modified as expected.
Does it have some other side effect? create a file, write to a pipe, set a
flag, something like that? Make sure that side effect happened.
If it doesn't do either of those, then it sounds like it doesn't do much of
anything.
