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.

Continuous Integration and Project Hosting

In Chapter 4, .NET Core Unit Testing, we explored the various unit testing frameworks available for .NET Core and C# and later explored in detail the xUnit.net framework. We then moved on to the important concepts of data-driven unit tests in Chapter 5, Data-Driven Unit Tests, which facilitate the creation of unit tests that can be executed with data loaded from disparate data sources. In Chapter 6, Mocking Dependencies, we explained in details dependencies mocking, where we walked through creation of simulated objects using the Moq framework.

Effective practice of TDD can assist with providing useful and insightful feedback on the quality of the code base of software projects. With continuous integration, the process of build automation and code automated tests are taken to the next level, allowing development teams to take advantage...
