You take all the fun out of it.
Our Builds won't without a test class. ;->
Not that your test is going to do more then validate that some form of data
got to this layer. ;->
I went over the tests done in some of our newer projects with linq data
access. Those tests are nothing more then base low level assumed
functionality:
[TestMethod]
public void GetAddressesWithSortedByLastName()
{
Guid distributionListId = new
Guid("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000");
AddressSearchCriteria addressSearchCriteria = new
AddressSearchCriteria();
addressSearchCriteria.PageInfo = new PageInfo(20, 1);
///////////// snip other setup code here
//sort ascending
addressSearchCriteria.LastName.SortCriteria = new
SearchSortCriteria(1, SearchSortDirection.Ascending);
AddressSearchResponse addressSearchResponse =
this.addressbookServiceClient.GetAddresses(addressSearchCriteria);
Assert.IsTrue(addressSearchResponse.TotalItemCount > 0, "Total
item count was 0. Test assumes that there are at least 1 valid record in
the Address table.");
Address previousEntry = addressSearchResponse.Items[0];
foreach (Address currentEntry in addressSearchResponse.Items)
{
Assert.IsTrue(previousEntry.LastName.CompareTo(currentEntry.LastName) <= 0,
"Results were not correctly sorted by last name ascending.");
previousEntry = currentEntry;
}
so as you can see we test that the sort works, and then we do a flip on
descending as well. this test project / class has 30 tests for use. Or
each method is represented by at least one test and multiple for a variety
of params / nulls
