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.

Summary

In this chapter, we explored the Cake build automation in detail. We walked through the steps of installing Cake and the Cake Bootstrapper. Later, we explored the process of writing Cake build scripts and task creation with sample tasks that can be used for various build activities.

Also, we created a build script for the LoanApplication project, with the build script containing tasks to clean, restore, and build all projects in the solution and build the unit test projects contained in the solution.

We later created a build step in TeamCity that executes the Cake script by using PowerShell as the runner type. Later in the chapter, we walked through setting up Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services, installing Cake into VSTS, and configuring a build step with the Cake task.

In the final chapter, we will explore how to execute xUnit.net tests with Cake scripts. Later in...
