I made the following test for my class:

var mock = new Mock<IRandomNumberGenerator>();
mock.Setup(framework => framework.Generate(0, 50))
    .Returns(7.0)

var rnac = new RandomNumberAverageCounter(mock.Object, 1, 100);
rnac.Run();
double result = rnac.GetAverage();
Assert.AreEqual(result, 7.0, 0.1);

The problem here was that I changed my mind about what range of values Generate(int min, int max) would use. I ran the test and it failed. I know that that is what it's supposed to happen but I was left wondering if isn't there a way to launch an exception or throw in a message when trying to run the method params.

Also, if I want to run this Generate() method 10 times with different values (let's say, from 1 to 10), will I have to make 10 mock setups or something, or is there a special method for it? The best I could think of is this (which isn't bad, I'm just asking if there is other better way):

for (int i = 1; i < 10; ++i) {
    mock.Setup(framework => framework.Generate(1, 100))
        .Returns((double)i);
}

Thanks

Auto Mocking using JustMock

as seen on ASP.net Weblogs - Search for 'ASP.net Weblogs'
Auto mocking containers are designed to reduce the friction of keeping unit test beds in sync with the code being tested as systems are updated and evolve over time. This is one sentence how you define auto mocking. Of course this is a more or less formal. In a more informal way auto mocking containers… >>> More
not using partial mocking? do they also mean in web-app?

Im learning Mockito and in chapter 16 they say you should not use partial mocking in new system. I disagree, for example in one of my actions i use partial mocking for static framework methods, sql calls, etc. I extracted the stuff into methods and then mock it in tests. Most of those methods are… >>> More

How can I make mock-0.6 return a sequence of values?
