Test Object Filler

Filling objects for testing so you don't have to.

Project Description

Library designed to auto fill DTOs (data transfer objects) properties. THIS IS AN ALPHA VERSION.

Overview

Test Object Filler was intended to be used with a mocking framework such a Rhino Mocks so that a mocked method would return a object filled with "data".

Example

Basic test that checks the properties for data.

/// <summary>
/// Fills object with basic properties
/// </summary>
[TestMethod]
public void ObjectFiller_FillBasicTypes()
{
	TestDtoClass objectToFill = new TestDtoClass();
	objectToFill = ObjectFiller.FillThisObject(objectToFill, objectToFill.GetType());

	Assert.AreNotEqual(objectToFill.Name, string.Empty);
	Assert.AreNotEqual(objectToFill.Title, string.Empty);
	Assert.AreNotEqual(objectToFill.Char, string.Empty);
	Assert.AreNotEqual(objectToFill.Object, null);

	Assert.AreEqual(objectToFill.Char, 'x');
	Assert.AreEqual(objectToFill.Sbyte, SByte.MaxValue);
	Assert.AreEqual(objectToFill.Single, Single.MaxValue);
	Assert.AreEqual(objectToFill.Long, long.MaxValue);

	Assert.IsTrue(objectToFill.Position > 0);
	Assert.IsTrue(objectToFill.Salary > 0.0);
	Assert.IsTrue(objectToFill.Long > 0.0);
	Assert.IsTrue(objectToFill.Boolean);       
}

Plan Features
