MCSD Exam Testing and DI tools

Question
-
I'm reading Pro MVC ASP.NET MVC4 (Adam Freeman) to start preparing for the MCSD exam. In the
book they promote Ninject and Moq for DI and Unit testing, respectively. Are these
tools going to be on the exam or would I be better off skipping those chapters
and learning Unity and Fakes framework?
Thanks,
RSalit

As that is not the official book for the exam (but a fine book non the less), you wont need to use Ninject or Moq in the exam.
In the case of this exam I would suggest using the UnitTest namespace features with VS (ie http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.testtools.unittesting.aspx)
If you are familiar with unit testing in general and understand the concepts and how it relates to creating unit tests, I think you will be OK.
Of course your mileage may vary with this.

Thanks. I'm pretty familiar with Unit Testing but just getting up to speed with mocking. I'll focus more on the MSFT approaches for now.Friday, July 5, 2013 1:59 PM
