Joe Schmetzer has posted an update to his JUnit Anti-patterns article to include a section on multiple assertions.

Joe suggests that you should RTFM, and only use one assert per test.

One area where I regularly see developers using multiple asserts is when comparing or validating an object by using an assert for each property on an object. This is exactly the sort of thing that should be refactored into a helper function, with a single assert in the test based on the return code from the helper.

From Rob Caron’s Blog : Latest MSF for Agile Software Development is Available for Download.

We just posted an update of MSF for Agile Software Development.

MSF agile is a great initiative, and it is getting lots of pre-release visibility that we have come to expect from Microsoft these days.

MSF for CMMI on the other hand has yet to see the light of day in any form, and none of the local MS guys that I have occasional contact with seem to know when we will see it either.

My educated guess is that it is currently being evaluated to ensure that it meets CMM level 3 when it rolls out the door.

Oh well, looks like I’ll just have to keep waiting, unless Rob can shed some light on the situation?
