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.

Continuous delivery

Continuous delivery is a sequel or an extension of CI. It is a set of software development practices that make sure that a project's code can be deployed to a test environment that is identical to the production environment. Continuous delivery ensures that all changes are up-to-date and can be shipped and deployed to production, immediately once the changes have passed the automated tests.

It is widely known that practicing CI will facilitate good communication among team members and can eliminate potential risks. Development teams need to take this a step further by practicing continuous delivery to ensure that their development activities are beneficial to customers. This can be made possible by ascertaining that the application is deployable and production-ready at any stage of the development cycle.

Through effective communication and collaboration...
