BlackBoxRecorder is a tool that automatically records and generates characterization tests for legacy code
Tag the code you want under test with a [Recording]-attribute, and any external dependency with a [Dependency]-attribute
The generated characterization-tests will notify you of any unintentional changes made in your codebase.
BlackBoxRecorder is a tool that uses AOP
techniques to automatically record and generate characterization tests
for legacy .NET code (code without tests). You apply a [Recording]-attribute on the method you want
to generate tests for, and a [Dependency]-attribute on any class accessing external resources such
as the file system, web services or databases.
BlackBoxRecorder works best for code following the anemic domain model anti-pattern This pattern is often found in Java/.NET n-layered enterprise applications, where you have a business logic layer, a data access layer, and a shared set of dumb entity objects. The business logic layer operates directly on the entities, manipulating their values, or by creating new entity objects. Using BlackBoxRecorder you can get this kind of code under test by marking your business logic with the Recording-attribute, and your service agents or data access classes with the Dependency-attribute.
