Message Broker .NET Compute Node Unit Testability

In the 01821,756,000 PMR, it was recommended that I enter an RFE for unit testability of the .NET compute node in Message Broker 8.0. The PMR was raised for recommendations on how to unit test the NBComputeNode object's Execute method, due to complications with the NBAssembly object that is required to write a unit test. The NBAssembly object's parameterless constructor is private, and the public constructors require another NBMessageAssembly object. This creates a chicken-and-the-egg problem, in which we can't create an NBMessageAssembly object because we don't already have one.

Opening this RFE as recommended by the PMR, so that we can get a workaround or an enhancement to Broker to support unit testing the NBComputeNode object's Execute method.

    As hinted at in the last update on this idea, having delivered a new unit testing framework in ACE 12.0.1.0 which enables granular testing of a node within a flow without having to execute the entire flow, we now have the capability of isolating the .NETCompute node, and proving using a new unit test that we are correctly instantiating the message assembly object (sourced from a message assembly file with .mxml extension) and the correct feeding of this object into the .NET parts of the product runtime.

    RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this RFE has been in the status of Under Consideration. It is likely that this use case will be resolved in as part of a future expanded scope for unit testing of the product. Status of this RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
