Setup and first test

1. Create a new Test Project in the FindHighestNumber Solution

2. Install the packages you want (MSTest already installed, or NUnit - we are going to be using NUnit)

3. Create a new setup the new test class as shown here (remember you will have errors)

4. Code Block
   language c#
   namespace TopicManagerTests { public class TopicManagerTests { [Test] public void find_heighest_score_in_empty_array_return_empty_array() { // Arrange int[] array = {}; TopicManager cut = new TopicManager(); int[] expectedResult = {}; // Act Topic[] result = cut.findTopicHighScores(array); // Assert Assert.That(result, Is.EqualTo(result)); } } }

5. Create a new class called TopicManager in the FindHighestNumberService project

6. Clean the code up so that the class is in a namespace called TopicManagerService

7. Lines 9, 11, and 14 give us enough information to allow us to start thinking about what are trying to design here. based on the requirements, we want to pass into the method findTopicHighScores an array of Topics and their accompanying scores. It should return the topic score of each Topic, we will call this TopicTopScore. Each item in the array being passed into the findTopicHighScores will be called TopicScores (plural I know, but it matches the context, you many want to lose the ‘s' at the end of the class name). Let’s refactor the code reflect what we have outlined here.

8. Code Block
   language c#
   public class TopicManagerTests { [Test] public void find_heighest_score_in_empty_array_return_empty_array() { // Arrange TopicScores[] array = Array.Empty<TopicScores>(); TopicManager cut = new TopicManager(); TopicTopScore[] expectedResult = Array.Empty<TopicTopScore>(); // Act TopicTopScore[] result = cut.findTopicHighScores(array); // Assert Assert.That(result, Is.EqualTo(result)); } }

9. We are now in a good position to get VS to generate the findTopicHighScores with the correct signature

10. Code Block
    language c#
    namespace TopicManagerService { public class TopicManager // TopicManager.cs { public TopicTopScore[] findTopicHighScores(TopicScores[] array) { // This block oc code assumes that the input is an empty array, there is no need for an if statement return Array.Empty<TopicTopScore>(); } } }

11. Now we need to complete the first piece of implementation code to pass the test

12. So you should have the following pieces of code

13. Code Block
    namespace TopicManagerService { public class TopicTopScore // TopicTopSscore.cs { } }

14. Code Block
    namespace TopicManagerService { public class TopicScores // TopicScores.cs { } }

Second test

1. Implement this second test

2. Code Block
   language c#
   public void find_heighest_score_with_array_of_one_return_array_of_one() { // Arrange int[] scores = { 56, 67, 45, 89 }; string topicName = "Physics"; TopicScores[] topicScores = { new TopicScores(topicName, scores) }; TopicManager cut = new TopicManager(); TopicTopScore[] expectedResult = {new TopicTopScore(topicName, 89)}; // Act TopicTopScore[] result = cut.findTopicHighScores(topicScores); // Assert Assert.AreEqual(result[0].TopicName, expectedResult[0].TopicName); Assert.AreEqual(result[0].TopScore, expectedResult[0].TopScore); }

3. And here is the implementation class

4. Code Block
   language c#
   public class TopicManager { private HighestNumberFinder highestNumberFinder = new HighestNumberFinder(); public TopicTopScore[] findTopicHighScores(TopicScores[] array) { if(array.Length == 1) { List<TopicTopScore> topScores = new List<TopicTopScore>(); TopicScores ts = array[0]; int topScore = highestNumberFinder.findHighestNumber(ts.Scores); topScores.Add(new TopicTopScore(ts.TopicName, topScore)); return topScores.ToArray(); } else return Array.Empty<TopicTopScore>(); } }

5. Line 3 represents the elephant in the code

   1. We already have tests for the HighestNumberFinder class, and yes class TopicManager requires HighestNumberFinder. But the coupling between these two classes is such that we cannot test TopicManger independently of HighestNumberFinder. Actually this is a code smell.

   2. we can not substitute out HighestNumberFinder, this also is a code smell.

   3. We can remove the code smell by injecting HighestNumberFinder into TopicManager, when TopicManager is created.

6. Modify TopicManager as follows

   1. remove the creation of HighestNumberFinder at line 5

   2. Pass an instance of a HighestNumberFinder into TopicManager as a constructor parameter

7. Code Block
   language c#
   public class TopicManager { private HighestNumberFinder highestNumberFinder; public TopicManager( HighestNumberFinder hnf ) { highestNumberFinder = hnf; } public TopicTopScore[] findTopicHighScores(TopicScores[] array) { if(array.Length == 1) { List<TopicTopScore> topScores = new List<TopicTopScore>(); TopicScores ts = array[0]; int topScore = highestNumberFinder.findHighestNumber(ts.Scores); topScores.Add(new TopicTopScore(ts.TopicName, topScore)); return topScores.ToArray(); } else return Array.Empty<TopicTopScore>(); } }

8. Refactor the tests so that they run. You should not have to change any of the test data.

Stubs

...

Now let’s substitute a stub in place of the real implementation of HighestNumberFinder.

1. Create a new called find_heighest_score_with_array_of_one_return_array_of_one_using_stub(), it's a copy of find_heighest_score_with_array_of_one_return_array_of_one()

2. Code Block
   language c#
   [Test] public void find_heighest_score_with_array_of_one_return_array_of_one_using_stub() { // Arrange int[] scores = { 56, 67, 45, 89 }; string topicName = "Physics"; TopicScores[] topicScores = { new TopicScores(topicName, scores) }; IHighestNumberFinder hnf = new FindHighestNumberServiceFinal.HighestNumberFinder(); TopicManager cut = new TopicManager(hnf); TopicTopScore[] expectedResult = { new TopicTopScore(topicName, 89) }; // Act TopicTopScore[] result = cut.findTopicHighScores(topicScores); // Assert Assert.AreEqual(result[0].TopicName, expectedResult[0].TopicName); Assert.AreEqual(result[0].TopScore, expectedResult[0].TopScore); } }

3. Modify line 8 to

4. Code Block
   language c#
   IHighestNumberFinder hnf = new TopicManagerService.HighestNumberFinder();

5. The error is because TopicManagerTests.HighestNumberFinder does not implement the IHighestNumberFinder interface. Modify it so that it does.

6. Rerun the tests, they should all pass.
