  • 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.

    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!

  • xUnit

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

    The setup here is really minimal, just create a new test project. I'll be using xUnit but NUnit should be fine too.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • NUnit

    NUnit 3 Framework

    The setup here is really minimal, just create a new test project. I'll be using xUnit but NUnit should be fine too.
