In this presentation we will look at some BDD tools for .NET, including NBehave and Cucumber (with IronRuby). We will also discuss some popular techniques that can implemented without any additional tools.

The development of components for use in SharePoint is a complex process, and often seems to fly in the face of what is considered good development practice in a Test Driven Development world.

In this session Richard will show how using some good design practices and tools such as Typemock Isolator you can develop testable components for Sharepoint without even having to have Sharepoint on your development PC.
