XUnit: Assert Description Deprecation
-
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.
One neat library for creating and generating test data is AutoFixture. The creators describe it as follows:
-
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, .NET Core 2.1 and 3.0, as well as .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1. Supports the unit test frameworks MSTest2, NUnit3, XUnit2, MSpec, and NSpec3.
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.

Project mention: What is the best way to control another program from code without using APIs? | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2021-09-13
Is it possible to control another program via code? This link says yes and the following is the successor of what they originally recommended: https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI.
-
It sounds like the team is interested in adding more automated tests, but are blocked by static singletons, which have high performance but also high coupling, resulting in poor testability.
I'm sure they've heard of test libraries like MS Fakes and [Pose](https://github.com/tonerdo/pose); I wonder if these libraries would let them maintain high performance, and only introduce the required layer of indirection during testing?
-
Machine.Specifications
Machine.Specifications is a Context/Specification framework for .NET that removes language noise and simplifies tests.
Project mention: Show HN: A C# library to help you enforce a Given-When-Then structured Unit test | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-08-29Looks like a similar concept to https://github.com/machine/machine.specifications which I used many years ago to try and achieve BDD style unit testing.
One point to note from your introduction was the following statement:
-
Verify
Verify is a snapshot tool that simplifies the assertion of complex data models and documents.
-
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.
-
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.
Instead of doing multiple assertions, why not check for structural (or full) equality over the entire DTO? Compare-Net-Objects can help you here.
-
mockhttp
Testing layer for Microsoft's HttpClient library. Create canned responses using a fluent API. (by richardszalay)
-
Project mention: Coverage Is Not Strongly Correlated with Test Suite Effectiveness | reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs | 2021-09-27
I'm thinking to start using https://stryker-mutator.io for my test suite.
-
WireMock.Net
WireMock.Net is a flexible library for stubbing and mocking web HTTP responses using request matching and response templating. Based on the functionality from http://WireMock.org, but extended with more functionality.

Project mention: NUnit vs. XUnit vs. MSTest: Comparing Unit Testing Frameworks In C# | dev.to | 2021-05-24
MSTest is the default test framework that is shipped along with Visual Studio. The initial version of MSTest (V1) was not open-source; however, MSTest V2 is open-source. The project is hosted on GitHub. Like other test frameworks, it can also be used for data driven testing. You can download MSTest V2 from Nuget.org.

Atata is a great open source project created by @yevgeniyshunevych
