如何在Visual Studio 2010中测试函数？

Question

I write a small function which accept a string type variable as parameter.

I am wondering if there is any way I can test my function?

I don't want to use Unit Test thing because it is overkill.

Thank you for your responses.

UPDATE

Thanks all for your replies.

My case is, this function will be trigger by an event handler. However, I don't want to bind the handle with my function and I just want to check if that function works.

So the best way is to write a unit test?

Answer 1

You can use the immediate window and type the function call in there to test. Typically, one would use this thing while running an application, but it is also available at design time.

Answer 2

Thats what unit tests are for. The other option is simply create a new console test to reference it, however simply right clicking on it and creating a new unit test is easy, and the best method - it is not overkill and takes 5 seconds : )

Worst case just delete your test when its done.

Answer 3

You could create a sample application that uses your function and then use the debugger to step through it and verify that everything is working correctly.

But I have to agree with SLaks - you should write unit tests. In fact, that kind of method sounds like it is begging for some unit testing.

Answer 4

I would use nunit and create a class library and write unit tests to test the functions. A traditional way to quick test it is to use a console app, but this is no longer recommended as unit testing is seen as quick and more resiliant way to test code.
