That's what we are currently doing now, but as the domain model grows, the integration tests can get huge when testing queries with multiple criteria (like a search screen). I'm finding most of the work is in getting the database in the correct state for these kinds of respository/integration testing. So, my thought is, just test the integration by using PersistenceSpecification.VerifyTheMappings(), and test the queries in isolation (mocked). It's a lot easier to create an in-memory list of customers to query against than setup records in the db.
Thanks for the feedback though. tt On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 2:47 PM, isaiah perumalla < [email protected]> wrote: > > In my experience, i found it useful to simply write integration-tests > to test the repositories. > I generally avoid mocking 3rd party type such as ISession since the > interaction tests will most like be quite fragile > > On Jan 15, 1:22 pm, "John Teague" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Are you testing business logic that is using your repository, or are you > > testing the repository itself? > > > > On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 1:23 PM, Troy T. <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > I'm using Linq to NH in a project, and would like to test my > > > repository code without hitting the database.
