Chapter 6
- Testing frameworks for C#:
- NUnit: Widely used, supports parameterized tests, lacks some advanced features.
- xUnit: Similar to NUnit but newer, promotes more modern testing practices, extensible.
- MSTest: Integrated with Visual Studio, easy setup, but historically considered less flexible.
- Best practices for unit tests in C#:
- Isolation: Tests should be independent, not relying on the OOE.
- Readability: Clearly express the intent of the test and use meaningful names.
- Speed: Tests should run quickly, enabling frequent execution.
- Maintainability: Regularly update tests to reflect changes in the code base.
- Mocking data in unit tests:
- Use mocking frameworks such as Moq or NSubstitute to create fake objects.
- Mock external dependencies by providing controlled responses to method calls.
- Focus on testing specific code units in isolation without invoking actual external services.
- Code coverage analysis in Visual Studio 2022:
- Code coverage: Measures the percentage of code lines executed...
