  1. Creating strongly typed xUnit theory test data with TheoryData

    In a recent post I described the various ways you can pass data to xUnit theory tests using attributes such as [InlineData], [ClassData], or [MemberData]. For the latter two, you create a property, method or class that returns IEnumerable<object[]>, where each object[] item contains the arguments for…

  2. Creating a custom xUnit theory test DataAttribute to load data from JSON files

    In my last post, I described the various ways to pass data to an xUnit [Theory] test. These are: [InlineData] - Pass the data for the theory test method parameters as arguments to the attribute [ClassData] - Create a custom class that implements IEnumerable<object[]>, and use this…

  3. Creating parameterised tests in xUnit with [InlineData], [ClassData], and [MemberData]

    In this post I provide an introduction to creating parmeterised tests using xUnit's [Theory] tests, and how you can pass data into your test methods. I'll cover the common [InlineData] attribute, and also the [ClassData] and [MemberData] attributes. In the next post, I'll show how to load data in other…

    This post describes a problem I ran into when converting a test project from .NET Framework to .NET Core. The test project was a console app, so that specific tests could easily be run from the command line, as well as using the normal xUnit console runner. Unfortunately, after converting…

  6. Introduction to integration testing with xUnit and TestServer in ASP.NET Core

    Most developers understand the value of unit testing and the importance of having a large test base for non-trivial code. However it is also important to have at least some integration tests which confirm that the various parts of your app are functioning together correctly. In this post I'm going…
