Unforunately, I don't have specific questions because I don't know
what many of the classes do. Since many rely on a disconnected set of
unrelated attributes, it is often unclear which ones work together and
how. The code samples at the very least gave me a clue as to what
attributes worked together.
Frankly, I miss the clear layout that used to be the front page of the
mertner wiki docs:
http://web.archive.org/web/20070609052712/http://www.mertner.com/confluence/display/MbUnit/Documentation
The namepace-centric organization of the Sandcastle docs I find
overwhelming, as it mixes up classes and attributes and internal stuff
with more commonly used stuff. The wiki front page was a great one-
stop shop for the classes most commonly used.
Also, the wiki actually explained the high-level purpose of the
attributes and how they related, not just what a single method does in
isolation (as the Sandcastle docs), which doesn't really help. Almost
all the method descriptions are empty anyway, so you are left with no
way to figure out how to use a class.
For instance, I was trying to remember just now what
TestSuiteAttribute was used for--the name is too generic for me to
remember. The current docs are totally useless (they are quite
literally blank), but the mertner wiki showed me how to use it
instantly with a very clear explanation and detailed code example:
http://web.archive.org/web/20070625130708/www.mertner.com/confluence/display/MbUnit/TestSuiteFixture
It shows what it is, what fixture it is used by, and how methods that
are decorated with it should be structured.
Without this info, novice users are really left in the dark.
