Design test case
Verify that the application block
can retrieve configuration data
from different sources, such
as an application configuration
file, a database, or from
memory.
Verify that the instrumentation
is implemented with loosely
coupled events.
Verify that situations that can
cause exceptions are addressed
and that the application
block logs the exceptions
through the instrumentation.
Verify that the application block
supports custom property collections
for the custom exception
handlers.

Feature that implements design
The ExceptionPolicyFactory class has a constructor
that accepts a configuration source as an input
parameter.
The methods in the ExceptionHandlingInstrumentationProvider
class that raise the events bind to
the methods in the ExceptionHandlingInstrumentationListener
class at run time.
For example, the ExceptionPolicyImpl class,
which handles the exception policies, includes the
InstrumentationProvider property. This property
retrieves the instrumentation provider that defines
the events for exception handling. The provider
logs the events to WMI and the event log.
The CustomHandlerData class provides the ability
to configure custom property collections for custom
exception handlers.
After the code is implemented, you can review it to see if it satisfies its test cases.
Table 4 lists the results of a code review for the Exception Handling Application
Block.

Verify that the Exception-
Policy façade exposes a
public method to handle
the exceptions.
Yes
The ExceptionPolicy class is a façade that exposes
the HandleException method to handle an exception.
This is shown in the following code.
public static bool HandleException(Exception
exceptionToHandle, string policyName){}
