Testing .NET code in a partial trust environment

Question

I want to test the behavior of a certain part of .NET code in a partial trust environment. What is the fastest way to configure this? Feel free to assume that I (and other readers) are complete CAS noobs.

@Nick: Thanks for the answer. Alas, this tool is not explicitly used for unmanaged code. I did not say “managed” in my question and should not have assumed that people would derive it from the “.NET” tag.

Answer 1

This is a great question, especially in terms of TDD and code verification in different trust scenarios.

I think I would come close to this, it would be something like:

• AppDomain TDD-, AppDomain.CreateDomain(), PermissionSet. PermissionSet , .

• , ,

• / .. ,

Microsoft Application Verifier.

AppVerifier :

• API:     ( API TerminateThread., API- Thread Local Storage (TLS). O (, VirtualAlloc, MapViewOfFile).

Answer 5

I just posted an article on my blog called Partial Trust Testing from xUnit.net . It describes the infrastructure based on xUnit.net that we use in the Entity Framework team to implement code under average trust.

Here is an example of its use.

public class SomeTests : MarshalByRefObject
{
    [PartialTrustFact]
    public void Partial_trust_test1()
    {
        // Runs in medium trust
    }
}

// Or...

[PartialTrustFixture]
public class MoreTests : MarshalByRefObject
{
    [Fact]
    public void Another_partial_trust_test()
    {
        // Runs in medium trust
    }
}
