Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

What if writing tests was a joyful experience
Or you just run into bullshit like https://github.com/Moq/moq4/issues/173
- Moq.NET Mocking framework [C#]

Dependency injection
Now to the real benefit of DI: If you are testing a method in your application that calls the ReservationRepository.GetReservation() method, you can use a library like Moq to simply "mock" a class that uses the IReservationRepository interface and define the return result of the GetReservation() method. Pass the mocked class into the constructor of the class you are testing.

A Tale of 2 Codebases (Part 2 of 4): Testability
Both projects use similar testing infrastructure. I write unit tests in C# using XUnit.net. I frequently use mock objects in testing, and MOQ is my tool of choice. I utilize continuous testing and coverage analysis through Rider. I do not have specific objectives for code coverage. When writing complicated algorithms, I frequently shoot for 100% coverage of the algorithm. I test simple properties inconsistently, and frequently do not test guard clauses.

What's your go-to unit testing tool?
But the reality is that I don't really write my tests with it. Toss on the MSTest attributes as needed of course. But all the testing code itself is FluentAssertions with a bit of Moq. (Though I find rarely need to use Moq/mocking anymore -- scandalous, I know.)

Fluent Assertions: Fluently Assert the Result of .NET Tests
This library extends the traditional assertions provided by frameworks like MSTest, NUnit, or XUnit by offering a more extensive set of extension methods. Fluent Assertions supports a wide range of types like collections, strings, and objects and even allows for more advanced assertions like throwing exceptions.

TDD vs BDD - A Detailed Guide
Next, you need to install a testing framework that will be used for performing unit testing in your project. Several testing frameworks are available depending on the programming language used to create an application. For example, JUnit is commonly used for Java apps, pytest for Python apps, NUnit for .NET apps, Jest for JavaScript apps, and so on. Weāll use the Jest framework for this tutorial since we are using JavaScript.

Setting up a simple testing project with C#
At this point you're going to see a familiar screen asking you to select a project. Here we're looking for a test project. By default, Visual Studio gives you access to 3 different testing frameworks based on your choice of project. These are MSTest, XUnit and NUnit. Ultimately, all 3 of these testing accomplish the same thing, and I've worked with all of them at various points in my career. The difference is mainly in exact syntax and documentation. Although, it's generally considered that MSTest is a little "older" than NUnit or XUnit, so I tend to see it less now. For the purposes of this demo, I'm going to go with NUnit:
-
Test-Driven Development
Use a testing framework: Utilize a testing framework like NUnit, xUnit, or MSTest to create, organize, and run your tests. These frameworks provide a consistent way to write tests, generate test reports, and integrate with continuous integration tools.

Debugging extension for test library
So I wrote extension attribute for Nunit, the opposite of how the retry attribute works.

Commemorating Charlie Poole's Contributions to the NUnit Project
Has #NUnit helped you, your career, or your organization? We'd love for you to tell that story here, to celebrate Charlie: https://github.com/nunit/nunit/discussions/4283
After over TWENTY years leading the NUnit project, Charlie is stepping back.
Has NUnit helped you, your career, or your organization? We'd love to hear about it at https://github.com/nunit/nunit/discussions/4283.
> To attempt to quantify Charlieās contributions to NUnit is a daunting task. He was the lead of NUnit across at least 207 releases in 37 different repositories, authoring 4,898 commits across them. He participated in 2,990 issues, 1,305 PRs, and impacted 6,992,983 lines of code. And those are only the ones we can easily find; our numbers are sourced from after NUnit moved the project to GitHub in 2011, which means there are at least 9 additional years of work not quantified above.
I think of Charlie as one of the ".NET OSS OGs". I'd love to see him celebrated.
What are some alternatives?
FakeItEasy - The easy mocking library 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.
NSubstitute - A friendly substitute for .NET mocking libraries.
Bogus - :card_index: A simple fake data generator for C#, F#, and VB.NET. Based on and ported from the famed faker.js.
xUnit - xUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for .NET.
AutoMoq - Auto mocking provider for Moq.
Shouldly - Should testing for .NETāthe way assertions should be!
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.
