A unit test should show what makes its scenario special. AutoFixture can provide a valid context by default so the Arrange phase only needs to describe the difference.
Combining source-generated Minimal API registration with constructor injection
Source generation can register injectable Minimal API endpoint classes and map their routes without runtime scanning or manual composition.
Making ASP.NET Core Minimal API handlers easier to test
Constructor injection keeps Minimal API handler tests focused as endpoint dependencies grow.
Testing ASP.NET Core endpoints with fake JWT tokens and WebApplicationFactory
Bypassing JWT validation in .NET integration tests with custom tokens and a test-only authentication setup.
Testing ASP.NET Core endpoints that use Entity Framework Core
Testcontainers and Respawn can make testing ASP.NET Core endpoints using Entity Framework Core easier and more reliable.
Reliably testing components that use Entity Framework Core
Reliably testing components using Entity Framework Core can be quite problematic. Targeting a real database comes with its own challenges. Let’s solve that!
Leveraging generic attributes to get test-specific test data
Tailoring AutoFixture’s customizations to the need of each test can cause a lot of code to be repeated. Let’s avoid that by using generic attributes.
Testing ASP.NET Core GRPC applications with WebApplicationFactory
The WebApplicationFactory can be used to create an instance of an ASP.NET Core application hosted within the test process and execute all the tests against it. We will use it to test GRPC services.
Testing ASP.NET Core web applications with WebApplicationFactory
The WebApplicationFactory can be used to create an instance of an ASP.NET Core application hosted within the test process and execute all the tests against it.
