  • Guides on setting up unit tests for domain models and services.
  • Integration tests with WebApplicationFactory and in-memory databases.
  • Examples of end-to-end testing patterns in ASP.NET Web APIs.

Quick Start

Run the test suite with dotnet test after configuring xUnit, Moq, FluentAssertions, and WebApplicationFactory in your project.

Frequently Asked Questions about aspnet-testing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up integration tests for an ASP.NET Core Web API using WebApplicationFactory?▼

ASP.NET Core integration tests use WebApplicationFactory to boot the app in-memory, configure in-memory databases, and execute end-to-end HTTP requests against the test server. This validates API behavior without manual deployment.

What is the best way to unit test domain models and services in ASP.NET Core?▼

Unit testing ASP.NET Core services uses xUnit for test structure, Moq to isolate dependencies, and FluentAssertions for readable assertions. This combination verifies domain logic without hitting databases or external systems.

Can I use Moq and FluentAssertions together in an xUnit test project?▼

Yes, xUnit, Moq, and FluentAssertions work together in ASP.NET Core test projects. Moq handles dependency isolation while FluentAssertions provides fluent assertion syntax, both running seamlessly within the xUnit test runner.

Do I need a separate test project to run ASP.NET Core integration tests with in-memory databases?▼

Yes, ASP.NET Core integration tests require a dedicated test project with project references to the main application. This project configures WebApplicationFactory and in-memory databases to isolate and execute test suites reliably.

Why does my ASP.NET Core test suite fail when running dotnet test with WebApplicationFactory?▼

ASP.NET Core test failures with WebApplicationFactory often stem from missing project references, incorrect in-memory database configuration, or incomplete test setup. Ensure the test project properly references the application and configures xUnit.
