Mature c# projects purposely maintain no downstream dependencies and is they do, it's to a major reputable lib. See for yourself - these are staple third party packages commonly used. Anything dependency starting with System or NETStandard is Microsoft maintained.
  • ASP.NET Core Unit Testing with FluentAssertions
    3 projects | dev.to | 21 Aug 2021
    FluentAssertions is one of the most popular (over 66 million downloads on Nuget) .NET library that contains a large collection of .NET extension methods that allow .NET developers to write unit tests using a fluent syntax which is very easy to read and write and clearly shows the intent of the unit test. The library has extension methods to test almost everything related to .NET such as Strings, Booleans, Dates, Guids, Collections, Exceptions, and even Nullable Types. You can add this library to your unit test projects via Nuget package manager and start using this library in few minutes.

    I love fluency. I myself work on a package for fluent programming. I recommend you using FluentAssertions for tests though. Nonetheless, keep working! Starred your repo.

    For example, all tests below this line are written in Honk# + FluentAssertions (the latter is an example of a library which also provides a lot of fluent methods for xUnit to perform assertions). Soon I'll be moving more of its (AngouriMath's) code to this style, as long as it doesn't harm readability and performance.

When comparing Fluent Assertions and crater you can also consider the following projects:

Shouldly - Should testing for .NET—the way assertions should be!

NUnit - NUnit Framework

NFluent - Smooth your .NET TDD experience with NFluent! NFluent is an ergonomic assertion library which aims to fluent your .NET TDD experience (based on simple Check.That() assertion statements). NFluent aims your tests to be fluent to write (with a super-duper-happy 'dot' auto-completion experience), fluent to read (i.e. as close as possible to plain English expression), but also fluent to troubleshoot, in a less-error-prone way comparing to the classical .NET test frameworks. NFluent is also directly inspired by the awesome Java FEST Fluent assertion/reflection library (http://fest.easytesting.org/)

SpecFlow - #1 .NET BDD Framework. SpecFlow automates your testing & works with your existing code. Find Bugs before they happen. Behavior Driven Development helps developers, testers, and business representatives to get a better understanding of their collaboration

Moq - Repo for managing Moq 4.x [Moved to: https://github.com/moq/moq]

xUnit - xUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for .NET.

NSubstitute - A friendly substitute for .NET mocking libraries.

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.

FakeItEasy - The easy mocking library for .NET

Compare-Net-Objects - What you have been waiting for :+1: Perform a deep compare of any two .NET objects using reflection. Shows the differences between the two objects.

should - Should Assertion Library

WireMock.Net - WireMock.Net is a flexible product for stubbing and mocking web HTTP responses using advanced request matching and response templating. Based on the functionality from http://WireMock.org, but extended with more functionality.
