Order of Tests

I am going to give some very helpful advice here. Read up on Test Driven Development, and remember that you are going to need to think differently as well. TDD, which is Test Driven Development is a way to write code in small chunks and get the tests to pass as you develop. Why is that important, is answered in a book called Test Driven Development by Kent Beck. The idea is that as you develop you are refactoring your code by test development to cover all your code with unit testing. This form of development is slower, and complex to get your head around if you are not used to it. But trust me you'll notice the benefits when it comes to maintenance and unforseen problems down the track. Another thing to remember is something called Mock objects, these can be very handy in a situation like you described because you can create a mock object and then test for its destruction as what you need to do. Also Mock objects are very good for DAO, TAO and such because you are writing tests that mimic what they should do and in these cases wouldn't write data back to the database if they are mock objects. Sorry to be a pain and throw this at you, but I think it is important to understand Test Driven Development first and how it works to benefit and appreciate it.
