SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the verification of complex outputs in .NET applications, ensuring consistency and catching regressions by comparing actual results against pre-approved baseline files (snapshots).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Snapshot Testing: Verifies API responses, serialized objects, rendered emails, and other complex outputs against baseline files.
  • Non-Deterministic Value Handling: Includes built-in and custom scrubbers to handle dynamic data like dates and GUIDs, ensuring stable snapshots.
  • Use Case: After refactoring an API endpoint, use this Skill to automatically verify that the new response structure and data match the expected output, preventing unintended changes.

Quick Start

Use the dotnet-snapshot-testing skill to verify the output of the OrderSerializationTests.Serialize_CompletedOrder_MatchesSnapshot test.

Frequently Asked Questions about dotnet-snapshot-testing

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify complex .NET API responses against a baseline?▼

Snapshot testing in .NET verifies complex outputs like serialized objects and rendered emails by comparing them against approved baseline files, ensuring consistency and catching regressions automatically during test runs.

How do I handle non-deterministic values like dates and GUIDs in snapshot testing?▼

Handle non-deterministic values in snapshot testing by applying built-in and custom scrubbers to filter dynamic data like dates and GUIDs, ensuring your baseline snapshots remain stable across test executions.

Does the Verify library work with serialized objects and rendered emails in .NET?▼

The Verify library works with serialized objects and rendered emails in .NET by comparing their complex outputs against baseline files, allowing you to prevent unintended structural or data changes during development.

What is the best way to prevent unintended API response changes when refactoring .NET code?▼

The best way to prevent unintended API response changes during refactoring is snapshot testing, which automatically verifies that new response structures and data match expected outputs stored in approved baseline files.

How do I organize snapshot files within a .NET test project?▼

Organize snapshot files within a .NET test project by storing approved baseline files alongside your tests, using custom type converters and scrubbing strategies to manage complex outputs and maintain stable comparisons.
