Foundational .NET Testing with xUnit

Writing reliable software requires a solid testing strategy, yet getting started with automated testing can feel overwhelming. This course simplifies the process by introducing you to the fundamentals of unit testing in .NET. You will transition from writing untested code to confidently structuring and executing automated tests. By understanding how to isolate code, handle test lifecycle events, and integrate testing into your daily development workflow, you will build better software with fewer bugs. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational unit testing terminology and the core structure of an xUnit test. - Write and run basic unit tests using Facts and parameter-driven Theories. - Apply modern assertion patterns to verify expected outcomes and handle exceptions. - Manage test setup and teardown effectively using class constructors and IDisposable. - Test asynchronous code safely using modern .NET async/await testing patterns. - Isolate code under test by understanding the basics of mocking dependencies. The course begins with essential testing theory and terminology before guiding you through writing your first test cases. You will then progress to advanced parameters, lifecycle management, and testing asynchronous operations through clear written explanations and practical code examples. This course is designed for beginner .NET developers who want to start writing automated tests. No prior testing experience is required, though basic familiarity with C# is recommended.
