What am I missing about interfaces?
a. you might do so purely out of argo cult, i.e. because someone told you this was the right thing to do™, and that's a silly exercise. b. you could also be doing this for a good reason: to use the interface with a mocking tool like NSubstitute

The Moq-gate: You Either Die a Hero...
When comparing it to one of its most well-known alternatives, NSubstitute, which has "only" reached 85.6 million downloads, it is fair to say that Moq is the most widely used mocking library in the .NET ecosystem.

Since v4.20, Moq is harvesting email addresses
Maintainer rejected the PR. They have temporarily disabled the integration in https://github.com/moq/moq/pull/1375 but kept the SponsorLink project reference in the source code. It seems like their intent is to re-enable the integration at a later point :(
NSubstitute [0] might be an alternative. Or to fork Moq pre-4.20.

Setting up a simple testing project with C#
In terms of mocking there are several frameworks you can use, but I've mainly relied on Moq and NSubstitute. Within this demo, I'm going to use NSubstitute as I've found it a little easier to use.

My Top N Favorite Plugins and Tools for Developers
If you use NSubstitute (the best mocking .NET framework), then you have to install this small yet useful plugin right now. It kindly generates mocks and Arg.Is / Arg.Any.

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.
What are some alternatives?
Moq - Repo for managing Moq 4.x [Moved to: https://github.com/moq/moq]
Bogus - :card_index: A simple fake data generator for C#, F#, and VB.NET. Based on and ported from the famed faker.js.
FakeItEasy - The easy mocking library for .NET
NUnit - NUnit Framework
Rhino Mocks
NBuilder - Rapid generation of test objects in .NET
FsCheck - Random Testing for .NET
Fluent Assertions - A very extensive set of extension methods that allow you to more naturally specify the expected outcome of a TDD or BDD-style unit tests. Targets .NET Framework 4.7, as well as .NET Core 2.1, .NET Core 3.0, .NET 6, .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1. Supports the unit test frameworks MSTest2, NUnit3, XUnit2, MSpec, and NSpec3.
