Summary

In this chapter, we discussed how to write integration tests for ASP.NET Core web API applications. We learned how to create a test fixture to set up the test web host, and how to use the test fixture in the test class. We also learned how to test authorized endpoints and generate code coverage data and reports.

As a good developer, it is important to write tests for your code. Writing tests is not only a beneficial practice but also a beneficial habit to form. You may find that you spend more time writing tests than writing features, but the effort is worth it. To ensure your ASP.NET web API applications are functioning correctly, make sure to write both unit tests and integration tests. Doing so will help to ensure your code is reliable and secure.

In the next chapter, we will explore another aspect of web APIs: gRPC, which is a high-performance, open-source, universal RPC framework.
