How to unit-test BizTalk maps containing e.g. DB functoids?

Question

I am exploring the possibilities of unit-testing BizTalk Server 2010 artifacts with MSTest.

So currently I am testing maps (thanks to TestableMapBase ) and comparing outputs (using XmlDsigC14NTransform 's digested output) and all that works fine – now – but:

How can I properly unit-test a map containing eg a DatabaseLookupFunctoid and DatabaseValueExtractFunctoid , or perhaps simply a DateCurrentDateFunctoid ?

Answer 1

I experimented a bit with the Moles framework and that already allows me to solve the problem with the DateCurrentDateFunctoid , since it suffices to deroute DateTime.Now for that.

Still, I need to further check its possibilities or alternatives, without just pulling out the big guns like TypeMock or JustMock…
