C# and .NET Core Test Driven Development

By: Ayobami Adewole

Overview of this book

This book guides developers to create robust, production-ready C# 7 and .NET Core applications through the practice of test-driven development process. In C# and .NET Core Test-Driven Development, you will learn the different stages of the TDD life cycle, basics of TDD, best practices, and anti-patterns. It will teach you how to create an ASP.NET Core MVC sample application, write testable code with SOLID principles and set up a dependency injection for your sample application. Next, you will learn the xUnit testing framework and learn how to use its attributes and assertions. You’ll see how to create data-driven unit tests and mock dependencies in your code. You will understand the difference between running and debugging your tests on .NET Core on LINUX versus Windows and Visual Studio. As you move forward, you will be able to create a healthy continuous integration process for your sample application using GitHub, TeamCity, Cake, and Microsoft VSTS. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to write clean and robust code through the effective practice of TDD, set up CI build steps to test and build applications as well as how to package application for deployment on NuGet.

Law of Demeter

Software applications are complex systems made up of different components that communicate to achieve the overall purposes of solving real-life problems and business process automations. In reality, the components have to coexist, interact, and share information across the component's boundary without the different concerns getting mixed up, to promote component reusability and overall system flexibility.

In software programming, there are technically no hardcore laws defined that must be stringently followed. However, various principles and laws have been formulated that serve as guidelines and can assist software developers and practitioners, and facilitate building software applications that have components with high cohesion and loose coupling to encapsulate data adequately and ensure that quality source codes are produced that can be easily understood...
