NUnit vs XUnit for .net6+ microservices
On a side note, something I would highly recommend NOT doing is using the built in assertion types for any of the test adapters. Without a doubt the hardest part of switching unit test frameworks is having to fix all your assertions which is why we use 3rd party assertions. The built-in assertions also tend to not be very feature rich and don't have the most helpful messages. We personally use FluentAssertions, but there are other options such as Shoudly or Should. I highly recommend picking one of them over the built in assertions. You will thank yourself later :)

Shouldly - More "fluent" way of writing assertions that I tend to like more personally. Example:

What's your go-to unit testing tool?
I use NUnit and Shoudly.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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/)
