Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding Typemock integration with Microsoft Pex, as we would like to benefit from the multiple iterations feature of Pex, while retaining Typemock as our main unit test framework:

1) Is there any way of using Typemock with with Pex? It would be useful to know even if there is limited inter-operability and what those features are. Our own investigations seem to point to it not working, but it would be good to know the official line on this.

2) If it does not integrate, are there any plans or timescales to release a version in the future which will?

Regards

Hi,

I apologize for the late response.
Isolator had some integration with Pex in older versions. We discontinued the support, as there was no demand.
This has not changed, and franky, we're not sure where Pex stands, as Microsoft did not announce it as part of the next version of VS.

May I ask - which version of Pex are you using? Also, can you describe your use of Pex and Isolator as you see it?

Thanks,

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

The version of Pex we are looking at is 0.94.51023.0, integrating with VS 2008. Looking at the Pex website it seems they will be releasing a version for VS2011 once the release candidate is avaiable, so it's still very much in their plans.

The way we would have liked to use the two together would be (in certain circumstance, where we see the need) to use Pex to generate the basic unit tests and then use Typemock to mock out methods etc. where required. This would then give us the benefits of the multiple iterations of the unit tests with different inputs which Pex gives.
