Working with test containers

Testcontainers is a library that supports integration tests, using Docker containers to simulate external services and systems. Originally developed for Java, Testcontainers has seen adaptations in several programming languages, including .NET, thanks to its powerful concept and flexibility. Testcontainers for .NET is a managed implementation that leverages Docker to create lightweight, disposable instances of databases, browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container, directly from .NET test code.
