Overview of this book

The ASP.NET Core 2.0 Framework has been designed to meet all the needs of today’s web developers. It provides better control, support for test-driven development, and cleaner code. Moreover, it’s lightweight and allows you to run apps on Windows, OSX and Linux, making it the most popular web framework with modern day developers. This book takes a unique approach to web development, using real-world examples to guide you through problems with ASP.NET Core 2.0 web applications. It covers Visual Studio 2017- and ASP.NET Core 2.0-specifc changes and provides general MVC development recipes. It explores setting up .NET Core, Visual Studio 2017, Node.js modules, and NuGet. Next, it shows you how to work with Inversion of Control data pattern and caching. We explore everyday ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0 patterns and go beyond it into troubleshooting. Finally, we lead you through migrating, hosting, and deploying your code. By the end of the book, you’ll not only have explored every aspect of ASP.NET Core MVC 2.0, you’ll also have a reference you can keep coming back to whenever you need to get the job done.

There are several client-side unit testing frameworks out there, the most prominent ones being:

  • Jasmine
  • AVA
  • Mocha
  • Jest
  • QUnit

Every testing framework has its ups and downs. We'll use QUnit in this chapter. QUnit was developed by jQuery developers and is used to test jQuery methods. jQuery depends on QUnit not breaking over time, when developers add new functions and break completely non-irrelevant parts of the framework.

Getting ready

It's so easy to create a basic test setup with QUnit. Let's create a HTML5 file and add several elements to it, as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head> 
    <meta charset="utf-8"> 
    <meta name="viewport...
