It’s not just about knowing your app runs smoothly now, but ensuring that after every tweak, update, or overhaul, your app keeps on ticking without hiccups or unexpected surprises. Regression bugs? We’re looking at you! With MVVM and the right testing practices, we can effectively guard against these potential issues.

• Mocking dependencies with Moq
• Testing MAUI-specific code

While we won’t be diving deep into the weeds (after all, the intricacies can vary widely depending on the tools you use), I’ll guide you using a set of tools I’m familiar with: xUnit, Bogus, AutoBogus, and Moq. These are my go-to building blocks, but let’s remember: the .NET ecosystem is vast...
