My response: 1. I don't see what's wrong with testing it the way you are at the moment. 2. If you really don't like it then I'd take a look at http://www.ayende.com/wiki/Rhino+Mocks+3.5.ashx#ArgumentConstraints 3. Also is there any reason you are using StrictMocks? it's almost always a 'bad idea' 4. Any reason why you're using the old record/replay syntax? I'd always recommend using the AAA syntax (Arrange Act Assert)
