xUnit Basics

Overview

• xUnit is a popular open-source unit testing framework for .NET applications.
• Good support for modern .NET features and is widely adopted in the .NET community.
• xUnit

Setting up xUnit in your project

• Create .Net 8 Class Library project with MathUtil class.
• xUnit test project from Visual Studio template.
• Remove Old xUnit package
• Add xunit.v3 Nuget package to test project.
• Update xunit.runner.visualstudio to latest version.
• Update Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk to latest version.
• Add MathUtilTest class to test project.

MathUtil Class

public  static class MathUtil
{
    public static int Add(int a, int b)
    {
        return a + b;
    }
    public static int Subtract(int a, int b)
    {
        return a - b;
    }
    public static int Multiply(int a, int b)
    {
        return a * b;
    }
    public static double Divide(int a, int b)
    {
        if (b == 0)
        {
            throw new DivideByZeroException("Denominator cannot be zero.");
        }
        return (double)a / b;
    }
}

MathUtilTests Class

public class MathUtilTest
{
    [Fact]
    public void TestAdd()
    {
        //Arrange
        var a = 1;
        var b = 2;

        //Act
        var result = MathUtil.Add(a, b);

        //Assert
        Assert.Equal(3, result);
    }
}

Naming Conventions

• Class Naming: Use the name of the class being tested followed by "Tests". For example, MathUtilTests.
• Test Method Naming: Use descriptive names that indicate the method being tested and the expected outcome. For example
• <MethodName>_Should<ExpectedBehavior>_When<Condition>
• Add_ShouldReturnSum_WhenGivenTwoIntegers
