Building Microservices with .NET Core 2.0 - Second Edition

By: Gaurav Aroraa

Overview of this book

The microservices architectural style promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on business capabilities. This book will help you identify the appropriate service boundaries within your business. We'll start by looking at what microservices are and their main characteristics. Moving forward, you will be introduced to real-life application scenarios; after assessing the current issues, we will begin the journey of transforming this application by splitting it into a suite of microservices using C# 7.0 with .NET Core 2.0. You will identify service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define service contracts. You will find out how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices, and configure scaling to allow the application to quickly adapt to increased demand in the future. With an introduction to reactive microservices, you’ll strategically gain further value to keep your code base simple, focusing on what is more important rather than on messy asynchronous calls.

Tests in action

So far, we have discussed test strategies and various types of microservice tests. We've also discussed how to test and what to test. In this section, we will see tests in action; we will implement tests with the use of the following:

  • Visual Studio 2017 Update 3 or later
  • .NET Core 2.0
  • C# 7.0
  • ASP.NET Core 2.0
  • xUnit and MS tests
  • The moq framework

Getting ready for the test project

We will test our microservice application: FlixOne bookstore. With the help of code examples, we will see how to perform unit tests, stubbing, and mocking.

We created the FlixOne bookstore application in Chapter 2, Implementing Microservices.

Before we start writing tests, we should set up a test project in our existing application...
