String Calculator kata with AutoFixture by Mark Seemann

This post introduces the String Calculator kata done with AutoFixture.

A couple of weeks ago, at the Warm Crocodile conference in Copenhagen, Roy Osherove and I talked about AutoFixture and his String Calculator kata, and I decided to do the kata with AutoFixture 3 and make a series of screencasts out of it.

This series makes no particular attempt at explaining what AutoFixture is, so you might want to first acquaint yourself with some basics, such as the theory of Anonymous Variables, Derived Values, Equivalence Classes, and Constrained Non-Determinism. It might also be a good idea to understand how AutoFixture integrates with xUnit.net.

The following screencasts are available:

1. Exercise 1
2. Exercise 2
3. Exercise 3
4. Exercise 4
5. Exercise 5
6. Exercise 6
7. Exercise 7
8. Exercise 8
   

As a general note, I didn't focus much on refactoring in this exercise, as I didn't feel the complexity of the solution required it.

If you like these screencasts, you may also like my Pluralsight course Outside-In Test-Driven Development.
