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.

Executing xUnit.net tests with Cake

In Chapter 8, Creating Continuous Integration Build Processes, in the LoanApplication build script section, we walked through the process of creating and running build steps using the Cake automation build script. Running unit tests and getting the test results and coverage from Visual Studio IDE, Visual Studio Code, or any other suitable IDE for building .NET and .NET Core applications is easier with the assistance of the xUnit console runner and xUnit adapter. However, for the CI process and the build process to be complete and effective, unit test projects should be compiled and executed as part of the build steps.
