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.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "For the test to pass, you have to implement the production code iteratively. When the following IsServerOnline method is implemented, the Test_IsServerOnline_ShouldReturnTrue test method is expected to pass."

A block of code is set as follows:

[Fact]
public void Test_IsServerOnline_ShouldReturnTrue()
{
bool isOnline=IsServerOnline();

Assert.True(isOnline);
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.0.0

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Visual Studio Code will attempt to download the required dependencies for the Linux platform, Omnisharp for Linux and .NET Core Debugger."
