Unit testing on compact framework applications

Friday and time to do some browsing for interesting news.

I´ve been browsing for a long time now, looking for a mocking or isolation framework  to aid me with my unit tests. So far, i have not found anything.

Both NUnit and MSTest work with the compact framework. but none of the available mocking/isolation frameworks does so we are stuck with manually creating stubs and mocks. This is very time consuming and in a larger project you ´re going to have a hard time convincing anyone that there is time and money enough to replicate everything as mocks.

So, what to do? for the better part of a year i have from time to time been “nagging” Typemock about this, unfortunately with no luck yet. Today i posted a feature request to their forum with a poll and i would like everyone that are interested in compact framework development to keep hitting that yes button :)

The reason for targeting Typemock is that i totally likes their full framework version, it is _the_ best mock/isolation framework available.

Go here: http://www.typemock.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=1487 to comment and cast your vote! Please do! If this doesn´t work maybe i should start targeting Ayende Rahien instead and see if it wild be possible to get Rhino.Mocks running on the device development.
