SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

MAUI apps often lack consistent, reusable patterns for unit testing, especially around ViewModels, service mocking, and cross-platform test setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test project scaffolding: Guidelines to create a test library aligned with the MAUI app's target frameworks and references.
  • ViewModel-focused testing: Strategies for testing ViewModels with mocked MAUI services and MVVM-friendly design.
  • End-to-end guidance: Instructions for running tests on desktop and on-device when needed, with code-coverage setup.
  • Patterns & examples: Concrete patterns for writing xUnit tests, including Fact/Theory usage and sample tests.
  • On-device testing: Introduction to running tests inside a MAUI app on a device or simulator using xunit.runner.devices.

Quick Start

Create a MAUI test project and apply the provided xUnit patterns to start validating ViewModels.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up xUnit testing for MAUI ViewModels?▼

Use the provided xUnit patterns to scaffold a MAUI test project and write ViewModel tests with mocked services. This approach validates MVVM logic reliably across desktop and mobile targets.

What's the best way to mock MAUI services in unit tests?▼

Mock MAUI services in unit tests using Moq to isolate ViewModel dependencies. This approach ensures testable MVVM logic by substituting service implementations within your xUnit test suite.

Can I run xUnit tests on a physical MAUI device or simulator?▼

Yes, you can run xUnit tests on a MAUI device or simulator using xunit.runner.devices. This executes tests inside a MAUI app to validate behavior across desktop and mobile targets.

Does this MAUI testing guide cover code coverage setup?▼

Yes, the guide includes code coverage setup for MAUI xUnit tests. It provides end-to-end instructions for configuring coverage alongside test execution on desktop and mobile targets.

Do I need prior xUnit and Moq experience for MAUI unit testing?▼

Yes, implementing MAUI unit testing requires knowledge of xUnit, Moq, and MAUI testing patterns. The guide provides structured guidance but assumes foundational testing framework experience.
