Re: NUnit tests: Generalization of tests using class factory?

Yes, it is possible.

For instance, in our data access tests to test basic CRUD
functionality of entity objects we wrote a generic test class that
looks something like this:

public abstract class EntityDataTests<T, EntityDataServiceType>
{
    [Test]
    public void Save_Select_Delete_Test()
    {
        T o = this.CreateObject();

        Assert.IsNull(entityService.SelectOne(o.Id);

       entityService.Save(o);

       // select again with test or whatever

       entityService.Delete(o);

       // test for it not being there
    }
}

We had I think a total of 5-6 generic tests like that. Then you write
a specific test class that inherits from this abstract class. Without
writing anything you can test its basic database behavior and if you
need anything more specific, you do it in that specific test class.
