Whenever I’m faced with a bunch of legacy code that I would like to write unit tests for I get quickly demotivated because I know the code works but still i’d love to know if the code will still work after I’ve been working on it.
Lately I’ve been faced with a lot of legacy code so I decided to make a little tool that does the same as what VSTS testing does when you select generate unit tests.
I haven’t made an add in yet, it’s just a little winforms app I started it this afternoon and i have something working now. It’s also one of my very first winform apps so things have a lot fo room for improving.
I’m open for suggestions and i decided to open source it so if you have a fix or would like to make it a better tool let me know and I’ll add you to the list of contributors
You can find the tool @ my subversion repo: https://svn.koolkraft.net/test_generator/trunk
I know that it’s against the rules of TDD to do this stuff but i just want to save some time by generating stubs that don’t actually do anything except setup objects and initial values
Let me know what you think


Might be interesting to create a Resharper 3.0 add-in along the same lines, right click on a class and select “generate test stubs”… hmmm
