Overview of this book

<p>ASP.NET is an open source web framework that builds modern web apps and services. This book is your one-stop guide to the new features of ASP.NET Core 2.0, including web APIs and MVC. We begin with a brief overview of the basics, taking you through the MVC pattern, platforms, dependencies, and frameworks. We then move on to setting up and configuring the MVC environment before talking about routing and advanced routing options. Next, we'll look at model binding, controllers and actions, filters, user authentication, and testing.</p> <p>Moving on, you’ll learn about all the aspects of syntax and processes when working with Razor. You’ll be introduced to client-side development and will get to know about the security aspects of ASP.NET Core. We will also look at Microservices with ASP.NET Core. Finally, you’ll find out how to deploy ASP.NET Core to new environments such as Azure, AWS, and Docker. By the end of the book, you will be well versed with development in ASP.NET Core and will have a deep understanding of how to interact with the framework and work cross-platform.</p>

Preface

Putting it all together


You definitely should have unit tests for your apps. Whether you follow TDD strictly or not these can be very useful, especially for regression tests. Most continuous integration tools out there fully support running unit tests. Just don't try to cover everything, focus on the critical parts of your app and if time allows, then proceed to the other parts. It is unreasonable to think that we will have 100% coverage in most projects, so we need to make decisions. Mocking frameworks play an essential role here as they allow us to simulate third-party services nicely.

Automated integration tests as we saw here allow us to test features that aren't available in unit tests, and these cover another part of our needs.
