Verify number of calls made on an object

Hi,

With AAA, there's no specific API for doing that. In Natural you can use recorder.Repeat, or any of the repeating overloads (like ExpectAndReturn).

The reason we've not done this in AAA, is that we believe that if you need to verify that, your test is over specified. The reason this is not so good, is that because over-specified tests are fragile. Fragile tests break with very small changes inside the production code, and when they do - you need to fix them. You don't want to spend your time maintaining tests.

Hope this helps,

I would agree with that statement 98% of the time...but there's always an exception right? :)

Brian,

You bet. And there are ways to deal with that. For instance, you can think if that's what you need to test, or maybe you can test this by proxy: verify or assert on another value that will tell you that the method was called 6 times.

It depends on the specific case you have. Would you like to post here the case so maybe I can suggest an alternative?

Thanks
