AutoFixture
AutoFixture is an open source library for .NET designed to minimize the 'Arrange' phase of your unit tests in order to maximize maintainability. Its primary goal is to allow developers to focus on what is being tested rather than how to setup the test scenario, by making it easier to create object graphs containing test data. (by AutoFixture)

API: Go, .NET, Rust
Yes, it does feel like some of the "standard stuff" in other more nuanced languages are missing (especially miss AutoFixture ngl). Some of those are a conscious decison by the golang team for example.

Integration Testing Postgres Store
Our first test is very easy, I like to name my tests as MethodName_GivenCondition_ShouldExpectedResult to follow the pattern, I have added GetById_GivenRecordDoesNotExist_ShouldReturnNull and I am going to leavarage excellent AutoFixture to get a new Guid as parameter. For this test we don't need arrange part, we would skip to the act and then assert. For Assertion I am going to use FluentAssertions. For this test we need to assert the returned result is null.

Setting up a simple testing project with C#
The next test to talk about, is that if this was a bank, we would have multiple customers, who can hold multiple accounts that we need to calculate the interest for. You could manually construct these objects if you want, but I'm going to use a package called AutoFixture to make life easier.

AutoFixture Tips and Tricks
AutoFixture is an amazing library that simplifies the process of creating test data in .NET. If for some reason you don't use this fantastic tool, it's time to consider it. Today, I'm going to share some tips for using AutoFixture that will be beneficial for developers of all skill levels. Let's get started!
- Integration tests without API dependencies with ASP.NET Core and WireMock.Net

Reduce your tests cognitive complexity with AutoFixture
Ensuring that your test is still readable and not bloated by the setup of those variables may be quite a challenge but hopefully no more with AutoFixture, let's see how!

Practical complex data for unit testing
One neat library for creating and generating test data is AutoFixture. The creators describe it as follows:

14 .NET packages I always recommend
First time I heard of Bogus, looks interesting, been using AutoFixture for those will definitely take a look at it.
- LPT: There is a library called Bogus, you should know it exists much earlier than I did in my career.

Bogus custom Dataset
Bogus NuGet package is fake data generator which can be helpful for populating tables in a database and testing purposes. If a database is not used and Bogus populates list of data each time an application runs, the data is random, never the same. Also, the random data generated by Bogus may not meet a developer’s requirements.
-
C# User-defined explicit and implicit conversion operators
A list is populated with NuGet package Bogus.
-
Windows form move items up/down in ListView and more
Other project either mocked data using NuGet package Bogus or a json file.

Should I give a copy of the database to the developer
That reminds me of Bogus which also generates dummy data that I've been using for sometime now.

Best practices for organising Mock Data & Repositories in Testing
To do all this you need test though...and that's where ]Bogus](https://github.com/bchavez/Bogus) and Auto Bogus come in handy. They both generate semi random test data that you can use to populate whatever method you've decided to use. You can setup rules so for specific fields, they have built in generators for common things like names and addresses. Auto Bogus can be used to populate large/complicated objects with data automatically (it can be slow if you don't use .WithRecursiveDepth() or.WithTreeDepth() )

Do you guys mock everything in your Unit Tests?
Bogus - For creating fake data Verify - Snapshot testing for .NET MELT - For testing ILogger usage Stryker - Mutation Testing for .NET TestContainers - run docker programmatically in integration tests

Nuget Packages in Class Libraries
I would say the issue is either a general issue with how Revit loads the addin, or maybe an issue with conflicts in your transitive dependencies. You can do some tests to try to figure out which. Try making a barebones Revit addin that uses a library that has no dependencies and isn't likely to be used in Revit. I'd suggest Bogus, you can use it generate a few pieces of test data and log them/display in the UI/whatever. If that works, then it would appear that Revit is fine with your addin having dependencies (which I would expect).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing AutoFixture and Bogus you can also consider the following projects:
NSubstitute - A friendly substitute for .NET mocking libraries.
faker-cs - C# port of the Ruby Faker gem (http://faker.rubyforge.org/)
FakeItEasy - The easy mocking library for .NET
Moq - Repo for managing Moq 4.x [Moved to: https://github.com/moq/moq]
NBuilder - Rapid generation of test objects in .NET
FsCheck - Random Testing for .NET
GenFu - GenFu is a library you can use to generate realistic test data. It is composed of several property fillers that can populate commonly named properties through reflection using an internal database of values or randomly created data. You can override any of the fillers, give GenFu hints on how to fill them.
