Resharper 4.0 Live Template for BDD/TDD with NUnit

I’m no BDD Guru, but here is the way I currently specify my Behaviors/Tests with AAA Syntax.

I’m not convinced that my way of BDD is exactly the most appropriate way (I still have a notion of implementation in there, not just behaviors). But I still think it’s much better than the old TDD approach.

Here’s an example of it: 

public class TwitterTimeLineServiceTest
    {
        public class BehaveLikeTwitterTimeLineService
        {
            public BehaveLikeTwitterTimeLineService()
            {
                TwitterTimeLineServiceUnderTest = new TwitterTimeLineService();
            }

            protected ITimeLineService TwitterTimeLineServiceUnderTest { get; set; }
        }

        [TestFixture]
        public class WhenConnectedToRealDeal : BehaveLikeTwitterTimeLineService
        {
            protected IList<ITweet> ActualNewTweets;

            [SetUp]
            public void Context()
            {
                this.ActualNewTweets = TwitterTimeLineServiceUnderTest.FindNewTweets();
            }

            [Test]
            public void ShouldReturnSomeTweets()
            {
                Assert.Greater(0, this.ActualNewTweets.Count, "no public tweets found. Doesn't sound right, does it?");
            }
        }
    }

and the Resharper 4.0 Live Template for it, I named it “BehaviorTest”.

If you want to use them ctrl + alt + space + “BehaviorTest” or ctrl + e, ctrl l + “BehaviorTest” if you’re using VS key layout.

namespace $NameSpace$
{
	using NUnit.Framework;

    public class $ClassName$Test
    {
        public class BehaveLike$ClassName$
        {
            protected I$ClassName$ $ClassName$UnderTest { get; set; }

            public BehaveLike$ClassName$()
            {
                $ClassName$UnderTest = new $ClassName$();
            }
        }

        [TestFixture]
        public class When$Context$ : BehaveLike$ClassName$
        {
            [SetUp]
            public void Context()
            {

            }

            [Test]
            public void Should$Expectation$()
            {

            }
        }
    }
}
