Chaining Tests

I learned something new about tests this morning.  Methods that are called from a test that have an Assert in them will be treated as a test.  For example:

        InterfaceKit interfaceKit = null;
 
        [
TestMethod()]
        
public void InterfaceKitAttachedTest_ReturnsTrue()
        {
            interfaceKit = 
new InterfaceKit();
            interfaceKit.Attach += 
new Events.AttachEventHandler(interfaceKit_Attach);
            interfaceKit.open();
        }
 
        
void interfaceKit_Attach(object sender, Events.AttachEventArgs e)
        {
            
bool expected = true;
            
bool actual = interfaceKit.Attached;
            
Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);
            interfaceKit.close();
        }

 

Thinking about it, that makes sense – b/c the called method is sharing the stack so the Assert will be called and inspected.
