Hi,
I would test that the interface is not null.
And that the functionality of the class (via interface) is correct.
As for class inheritance, you should only expose constructors in the base
class, and any additional constructors that require additional information.

There's a lot of opinion and not much science with TDD. I'd be sceptical of
someone who introduced themselves as a TDD ninja. It takes an enormous
amount of practice to develop expertise (5,000 hours) so almost everyone is
a beginner. Read Kent Beck and Uncle Bob on what they think is best to
There are also some typos in those 12 pages. I always have a number of people
proof read my CV to fix such things.
I'll point them out when I see you at work tomorrow ;)

The technique that I've used in the past for this is to have a dictionary of
delegates for each type. Then I define a static variable to hold them - or use
DI to inject them.
private static DictionaryType, Delegate _parsers = new DictionaryType,

Many thanks to all respondents. There's something there for me to mull over.

That seems like a strange statement. Surely it depends what you're
backing up.
Strange arguably, but no: who backs up the version control files?

As an exercise, try making the method name articulate what you are testing.
Use underscore for space. Don't be afraid to use longish sentence

I wouldn't be writing these tests just for themselves, but they do
check if someone attempts to change the base class without knowing
what is going on. Similarly for the member tests.
If these were perhaps created automatically, that would be OK, just.

I follow the suggested naming from The Art of Unit testing by Roy Osherove.

Yeah I wouldn't use source control for backups.

The biggest benefit of proper test naming is that it forces you to think
what you are testing. IMHO of course.
Resharper allows you to have multiple naming styles.

Hi Tristan, I would argue that this sort of testing is a natural part of
TDD. It seems as though the author is testing HOW the class is
implemented, not that the class implements the functionality that it was
created to perform. At some point you have to trust your compiler, if you
derive one

By this I mean that I believe it is NOT a natural part of TDD... just
realized this could be mis-interpreted.
