Continuing from my last post. Documenting the Service class unit tests remains. A quick look at the source code shows there are three service classes but, regrettably only one of them can be tested. The Message service requires a user response that I have yet to figure out how to do programmatically for the unitContinue reading “Unit Testing the Xamarin Forms Mobile App: The Service”

Unit Testing the Xamarin Forms Mobile App: The ViewModel
In the previous post I demonstrated unit testing for the Azure Functions that are used by the Xamarin Mobile application for myWineDB (to-date). In this post (and the one to follow) I will document the challenges to writing unit tests for the Mobile application.

Architecture Is Not Overrated
One of the tenents of Agile programing is make only what you need when you need it. Every scrum team I have participated on has set out on a development course that only knows a week or two in advance where it is going. This occurs because most product owners don’t have a clear visionContinue reading “Architecture Is Not Overrated”
