Have started experimenting with a way of wrapping the ‘system under test’ in a wrapper-class that also contains the mocked dependencies. The class is instantiated the same way as Brad Wilson’s Testable Object Pattern with a static Create method. The big difference from his pattern is that the system under test is a public Sut-property instead […]
