Pex, Automated White box Testing for .NET

Right from the Visual Studio code editor, Pex finds interesting input-output values of your methods, which you can save as a small test suite with high code coverage. Pex performs a systematic analysis, hunting for boundary conditions, exceptions and assertion failures, which you can debug right away. Pex enables Parameterized Unit Testing, an extension of Unit Testing that reduces test maintenance costs.

As I did my ironing for the coming week (my wife has me well trained doesn’t she?) I caught up on my This Week on Channel 9 casts. Included was very welcome news was that the Pex team updated their license (well added a new license really) so that you can now legally use Pex in a commercial environment/project. That’s officially cool and means that I can seriously consider looking at it now… Yea!

On a related note, you are watching This Week on Channel 9 right? What? Well stop reading now and go watch… They are a must watch weekly video cast if you are into .Net, Microsoft & Microsoft related development or just general dev-geek stuff.

Brian and Dan, thanks for the shout-out this week too… :)
