NUnit

NUnit is a popular unit testing framework for .NET, that aids in creation and execution of unit tests.

Effective use involves a combination of testing concepts, programming knowledge, and understanding of the .NET ecosystem.

Key Competencies:

1. Testing Fundamentals

   • Understand unit testing, integration testing, and test-driven development (TDD).
   • Familiar with testing lifecycle, including test setup, test execution, and test teardown.
   • Can interpret test results to identify failing tests and diagnose the root causes of failures.

3. Test Writing

   • Writes clear and concise test cases that cover ordinary and edge cases.
   • Can create test data and mock objects to isolate units of code under test.
   • Can use NUnit's built-in assertions and custom assertions to verify expected behaviors and outcomes.
