FEATURES

Calling Original Method

Depending on a test case, you may think that "I want to call original method, and verify only the passed value", or "I want to just call indirectly at nth time". Prig provides the feature to call original method easily. For details, please see this page!

Default Behavior

When you protect existing behavior via automated testing, tentatively you sometimes want to just check whether the method is called or not. For example, I think there is the scene as follows: "I want to detect the invocation of any methods of the class Environment, because I want to know that whether the target method accesses the information of current environment or platform." To achieve it, Prig supports the feature to modify the default behavior of their indirections. For more details, please check this page!

Generics

How do I hijack a generic type or a generic method? For details, please see this page!

Non-public Method Replacement

Do you like extension methods? It should not be abused, but sometimes it can achieve natural API on the design if it is the function that you want the library to support essentially as its layer. However, whether the library is opened against such extension depends on circumstances. Specifically, note the case that a method having internal class in its signature pertains. This page describes how solve it by Prig!

Combination with other frameworks

Prig doesn't support the feature of traditional mocking frameworks, because I believe it can be done by just using them if they are OSS library :) This page describes combination with Moq, NSubstitute, Rhino Mocks and FakeItEasy.

Profilers Chain

The meaning of Profilers Chain is the feature that profilers are linked together and are run. You may think that "Are there any situation that links profilers together?". I believe it is yes. For details, please see this page!

MIGRATION

Mocking Asynchronous Pattern by Microsoft Research Moles

Let's migrate the sample that mocks with Moles against the class that embraces "Event-based Asynchronous Pattern" to Prig(with Moq). For more information, please check this page!

Mocking HttpWebRequest by Microsoft Fakes

This page introduces Fakes -> Prig migration, also I take the migration explanation that is listed in the section "Migrating from commercial and open source frameworks" of the article "Better Unit Testing with Microsoft Fakes" for example. By the way, I believe that the way to leave Moq untouched is easier because Fakes has no features as a Mock Object, Umm... :{

Final Mocking by Telerik JustMock

This is one of the series that implements the samples that are in the official documents of JustMock. In this page, Final Mocking samples are migrated to Prig.

Sealed Mocking by Telerik JustMock

This is one of the series that implements the samples that are in the official documents of JustMock, part 2. In this page, Sealed Mocking samples are migrated to Prig.

Static Mocking by Telerik JustMock

This is one of the series that implements the samples that are in the official documents of JustMock, part 3. In this page, Static Mocking samples are migrated to Prig.

Test using MessageBox by Typemock Isolator

Typemock introduces the sample that replaces MessageBox to a mock in Isolator's Quick Start. Also, you can migrate it to Prig(with Moq).
