How do you inject mock objects? Because I don’t see them in constructor or method call in tests code.

I think that assert should be something like this:

CustomerService svc = new CustomerService(123, custManager.Object);
Assert.IsTrue(svc.CanPurchaseProduct(1, prodService.Object));

Correct me if I’am wrong.

To be clear refactoring should be done often and whenever necessary. A general rule of thumb is: If you’ve had to workaround a piece of code for more than 3 times, it’s probably time to refactor it. In this post, I am simply pointing how refactoring can be used to make existing code unit-testable.

[...] Refactoring for Unit Testing – Nizar Noorani looks at some of the process of refactoring a legacy code base to allow it to be better unit tested, working through a simple example to show the changes needed to test the example code. [...]
