I use MbUnit almost religiously. There are some things that are difficult to test such as code written against non-deterministic APIs. One of my primary responsibilities right now is SharePoint...

I agree completely Scott! I often have to jump through some hoops to get my code organized in a testable form but the green bar is always worth it.

Code Coverage utilities have been added to the repertoire of good developers that implement unit tests. The Code Coverage tools identify which areas of the code are not tested adequately....

Don't forget these two resources:

• MBunit (does everything NUnit does and more): http://www.mertner.com/confluence/display/MbUnit/MbUnit+Home

I am hoping that it will be justification to buy a couple for the...

A little bit but I don't use it. CodeSmith has Visual Studio integration which allows you to keep scripts and config files in a project. When you need to re-generate...

Very slow and extremely painful. I hope you have a good test plan in place!

It sounded like you were backsliding a little but by going with the dynamic SQL generation...

We have probably close to 2000 procs  across several interrelated apps and of late we have slowly been moving towards using paramaterized queries,...

Like Michael, I use CodeSmith to generate common stored procedures. Writing standard insert, update, delete, and select statements manually is a waste of time and invites errors. A tried and...

Hmmm, hobbies... I hope to have time for one of those again soon!

When I am not at work, trying to finish my...

I think most of the Anti-MS backlash comes from people who find Microsoft's business practices to be questionable. I don't like a lot of things that Microsoft does to beat...
