I was a happy user of the Moq library for the last 12 years. I liked the simplicity of Moq and how it allowed me to write tests first and then incrementally build the functionality. Unfortunately, the creator of Moq is currently doing his best to kill the project. As he declared, either his spyware …
If I run into tasks that I must repeat countless times, I try to automate them as much as possible. Since we always add the same dependencies to our test projects, we thought it would be a great idea to create a project template that has all the necessary settings already in place. Let us …
The code coverage is an important part of the quality metrics of SonarQube. Unfortunately, SonarQube needs some extra steps to use our code coverage reports from our Azure DevOps pipeline as part of its code analysis. As in the last posts on code coverage, we again use Coverlet and ReportGenerator as part of our Azure …
Last week we used Coverlet and ReportGenerator to collect code coverage on our development machines. In this post we continue this journey and extend our build pipelines to get a nice coverage report with every continuous integration build. Extending the test task We can collect the code coverage files in the build pipeline by …
For .Net 4.8 it was enough to install Visual Studio Enterprise Edition on the build server and check the box for code coverage in the Testing task of Azure DevOps. The build agent then collected the coverage data and published it as part of your builds. Unfortunately, for .Net 6 this no longer works, and …
Back in Oslo at last. After an online edition of NDC Oslo in 2020 and the travel restrictions at the start of the Omicron wave in 2021, I haven’t been to Oslo for a while. Visiting in September is in many ways different from June. It is colder, and it gets dark early (around 7 …
Developers spend a lot more time on reading code than writing it. Therefore, if we want to get more effective, we must take a deep look at the reading part. In this Workshop Mark Seemann uses a set of heuristics to address the common obstacles developers face when it comes to understanding code. Keep in …
One problem that annoyed me for months was the missing code coverage in our build jobs in Azure DevOps. The metric vanished from one day to another for the .Net 4.x projects. Whatever I tried with the options in the Visual Studio Test task, all I could produce was this link to the Microsoft documentation: …
I am a big fan of the XML documentation comments in C#. This documentation is directly in the code and has therefore the biggest chance to be updated when the code changes. However, when you demand to document all public methods, you end up with a lot of repetitive documentation. As with duplicated code, you …
With your StyleCop installation done and your custom configuration in place, you are now ready to clean-up your project. This is part three of my small series of StyleCop for .Net 5 Projects: Part 1: StyleCop for .Net 5 Projects: Installation Part 2: StyleCop for .Net 5 Projects: Custom Configuration Part 3: StyleCop for .Net …
