TDD – 031 – Moving from Dictionary to Collection
The last test I wrote which I thought would pass actually doesn't. I wrote a test to add 2 (the many condition) dictionary entries. I think I decided to use a dictionary for saving the changes by the field name, however, the same field name would be changed multiple...
TDD – 029 – Getting one field to audit… almost
Ok, opened up the FormAuditor database and ran the tests. Here's where I'm at: That test name is a mouthful! GivenFormAuditorWhenOneFieldIsChangedThenAuditorReturnsSingleListOfChanges Given: FormAuditorWhen: One Field Is ChangedThen: AuditorReturnsSingleListOfChanges...
TDD – 026 – Getting back to the user requirements
Back to testing: I am currently working on this test, which I never actually completed. '@TestMethod("FormListener") Private Sub FormListenerRaisesBoundDataChangedEvent() FormListenerTest.Setup NewForm NewForm.TestText = "NewThing" NewForm.Dirty = False...
TDD – 023 – Exporting from OASIS-SVN and finishing up
Well, as I was shutting down various apps, all of a sudden OASIS-SVN started seeing files to export. This could be that it was one of the apps (possibly my Splashtop which had an active session open) or simply that the memory was getting a bit bogged down. This also...
TDD – 030 – Some major refactoring and adding a test
Last time I had just updated a test that was failing so that it would pass. What was happening is that the class initialize module was running and hooking the TestForm event after I was making the change because I had done this: Dim testFormAuditor As New FormAuditor...
TDD – 028 – Full throttle forward! Make the test pass and make another failing test!
The latest test is failing due to a compiler error: '@TestMethod("FormAuditor") Private Sub GivenFormAuditorWhenNoFormIsChangedThenAuditorReturnsEmptyListOfChanges() Dim testFormAuditor As New FormAuditor Dim testDictionary As New Scripting.Dictionary Set...
TDD – 025 – Where did TDD go wrong and renaming tests
I just watched a YouTube video today discussing where TDD went wrong, you can watch it if you want, but you don't have to: https://youtu.be/EZ05e7EMOLM?si=ZIieNdrg1jmfTelX Basically, TDD has been around a while and has gone through a lot of analysis. Seems like most...
TDD – 022 – Configuring and preparing OASIS-SVN
I now have a blank checked out copy of the trunk of the FormAuditor repository from SVN. Now it's time to use OASIS SVN to export the project to a source folder. First I copy the Access database I've created to the root of the SVN working copy. I use an online service...

TDD – 027 – Considering what the class consumer wants
First things first, I am continuing to work on the new test and adding code so it will actually be testing the class user expectations. I would expect that if I create this Form Auditor class and don't have any changes to any forms, I would expect that any results...
TDD – 024 – Now Where Were We? Form Auditor Recap
Now that I can continue working easily on both my laptop and desktop it is time to recap the project and re-orient to get back to work on building the form auditor. My current vision for the form auditor is to be able to create an instance of a form auditing class in...
TDD – 021 – Prepping SVN Working Copy on the Laptop
Yesterday, I wrote up to the point of creating the new SVN repository on my server and checking it out to a folder on my laptop. Next I need to configure the structure of the repository. SVN repositories really can have any structure you want. Think of the whole thing...
