Concurrent Unit Tests with Service Locator

Concurrent Unit Tests with Service Locator

My talk at Microsoft Summit created a nice discussion with some of the participants about writing isolated unit tests when using the Service Locator.

Unit Testing Training

Unit Testing has been one of the dearest technical subjects for me in the past years. A great influencer was a TDD Workshop lead by J. B. Rainsberger to which I was lucky enough to attend, somewhere in 2010. It was a very good fit with the moment of my

Why I Write Isolated Unit Tests
