Microsoft Research has produced two tools to dramatically simplify the construction of unit tests. We will look at Moles, a framework and Visual Studio add-in that helps to isolate your code from external dependencies. With Moles you can replace any .Net method with a delegate. Next we will examine Pex, a Visual Studio add-in that automatically generates unit tests for you. Pex analyzes your code, looking at, for example, if statements, assertions and operations that throw exceptions, to create inputs that try to achieve 100% code coverage.

i wont channel 9 video and free live mobile tv in my Nokia E 66
Really nice video but hard to hear.
Interesting topic, but the video is stuttering and with poor resolution of the PowerPoint presentation. Would also like to see code examples. Also, the questions from the audience was not possible to hear.
I would recommend downloading the WMV. It's easier to watch and without all of the choppiness.
