Overview of this book

Software architecture is the practice of implementing structures and systems that streamline the software development process and improve the quality of an app. This fully revised and expanded second edition, featuring the latest features of .NET 5 and C# 9, enables you to acquire the key skills, knowledge, and best practices required to become an effective software architect. This second edition features additional explanation of the principles of Software architecture, including new chapters on Azure Service Fabric, Kubernetes, and Blazor. It also includes more discussion on security, microservices, and DevOps, including GitHub deployments for the software development cycle. You will begin by understanding how to transform user requirements into architectural needs and exploring the differences between functional and non-functional requirements. Next, you will explore how to carefully choose a cloud solution for your infrastructure, along with the factors that will help you manage your app in a cloud-based environment. Finally, you will discover software design patterns and various software approaches that will allow you to solve common problems faced during development. By the end of this book, you will be able to build and deliver highly scalable enterprise-ready apps that meet your organization’s business requirements.

Summary

This chapter explains the importance of functional tests, and how to define detailed manual tests to be run on the output of each sprint. At this point, you should be able to define automatic tests to verify that, at the end of each sprint, your application complies with its specifications.

Then, this chapter analyzed when it is worth automating some or all functional tests and described how to automate them in ASP.NET Core applications.

A final example showed how to write ASP.NET Core functional tests with the help of AngleSharp to inspect the responses returned by the application.

Conclusions

After many chapters discussing the best practices and approaches to developing solutions using C# 9 and .NET 5, together with the most up to date cloud environments in Azure, you have finally reached the end of this book.

As you've probably already noticed during your career, it is not a simple task to develop software on time, on budget, and with the functionalities...
