Testing in ASP.NET Core (Part 1 – Unit Testing)
Testing is an essential part of any software development process, including ASP.NET Core web API development. Testing helps to ensure that the application works as expected and meets the requirements. It also helps to ensure that any changes made to the code don’t break existing functionality.
In this chapter, we’ll look at the different types of testing that are available in ASP.NET Core and how to implement unit tests in ASP.NET Core web API applications.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Introduction to testing in ASP.NET Core
- Writing unit tests
- Testing the database access layer
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to write unit tests for your ASP.NET Core web API application to ensure that the code unit is functioning correctly. You will also learn how to use some libraries, such as Moq
and FluentAssertions
, to make your tests more readable and maintainable...
