Testing Your Enterprise Application

When developing software, it is essential to ensure that an application is as bug-free as possible and that it satisfies all requirements. This can be done by testing all the modules while they are being developed or when the overall application has been either completely or partially implemented. This need has become more and more compelling in today’s agile and DevOps-driven software development landscape, where integrating testing at every stage of the development process is essential for the continuous delivery of reliable software.

While most of the key concepts covered by this chapter apply to a wide range of applications and environments, this chapter focuses on essential testing strategies for enterprise-level applications in C# and .NET environments.

Performing all the tests manually is not a feasible option since most of the tests must be executed each time the application is modified, and, as explained throughout this...
