Testing for File access

When opening a file in two different threads at the same time, it will cause
an exception if the FileShare modes are incompatible with the FileAccess
modes.

Is there some way to test whether access will be allowed to the file without
having to try opening it and get an exception?

No, there is not, but why are the Fileshare modes incompatible if you need
to share file access?

The term "mock filesystem" refers to code allowing unit or acceptance tests to create, read and write, and manipulate in other ways "virtual" files, without any actual disk access. Everything is held in memory and therefore fast, without risk of damaging real files, and with none of the messiness of leftover files after testing. Googling the archives and the web suggests that only I and Remy Blank have done much along these lines. I...

We have found that our method of testing does not match traditional text-book methodologies. I decided to write a short white paper on it so that I could get your opinions. Does anyone else use this method? If so, what the heck is it called? Do you think it would work in other projects, or did we just luck out? Jonathan Allen *****************

Hello everyone! I have been running some tests of a component that simply returns an image path based upon some logic and a simple select statement to an Access db. The component had to be available to Classic ASP apps and ASP.Net apps from a central location. Performance is a great concern. In developing this solution I created three seperate mini-apps to try to ascertain what the best approach could be.

Hi, guys. I am interested in C++ unit testing. I know only two methods how to test private class methods. 1) Declare friend class in the code. But I don't like this style because tests depends on the code. 2) Cheat compiler. We can do it by: #define private public #include "..."

I have been developing web applications with ASP & Javascript for a long time. I have been using Visual Studio 2003.NET. While VS2003 is okay for intellisense of ASP & Javascript, it's still not that great. One of the cons of ASP & Javascript is that they're both interpreted, which means one has twice the amount of work to do interms of syntax checking & semantic/runtime checking. Another bad thing is that ASP & Javascript doesn't have...

I'm by no means a testing expert, but I'll take a crack at it. Casey McGinty wrote: I've never run into this. Rule of thumb: always separate software from hardware. Write mock classes or functions that do your hardware/file access that always return known data (but remember to test for alpha and beta errors--make sure both valid and invalid data are handled correctly). That way you can test the client code that is accessing the...

Hello guys, I want to do kinda of an A/B split testing on a website I run. I just created a new version but I need to keep both version running and see which one will perform better.

So the splitting is being done in the backend, I don't want the users to see for example in the url /new/index.php and /...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
