Summary
Testing secured assemblies shares many aspects with testing any .NET Framework assemblies. For example, performance may be a concern for all assemblies you need to test. However, there are some extra steps to perform when testing secured assemblies. These steps are as follows:
1. |
Determine what is being protected.
|
2. |
Determine how resource protection is implemented.
|
3. |
Test any applied custom permissions.
|
4. |
Test the methods and properties that should be protected.
|
If all four of these steps are performed successfully, you have gone a long way to ensure your secured assembly is safe to use.
