SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

xUnit testing guidance and architectural patterns to enable robust unit tests for .NET MAUI apps, including ViewModel testing, mocking MAUI services, and test project setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ViewModel testing strategies that isolate logic from MAUI specifics.
  • Mocking common MAUI services to enable fast, deterministic tests.
  • Test project setup guidelines for MAUI apps and code coverage considerations.
  • On-device test runners and desktop execution guidance for broader validation.

Quick Start

Run dotnet test to execute the MAUI unit tests in your solution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I unit test .NET MAUI ViewModels using xUnit?

Unit test .NET MAUI ViewModels using xUnit by applying interface-first testing patterns that isolate business logic from MAUI specifics. This approach enables fast, deterministic tests running on desktop test hosts.

What's the best way to mock MAUI services for deterministic unit tests?

Mock MAUI services for deterministic unit tests by defining interfaces for platform-specific dependencies. This MAUI-agnostic strategy ensures tests run reliably on desktop hosts without requiring actual device execution.

How do I configure a test project for a .NET MAUI app?

Configure a test project for a .NET MAUI app by setting up an xUnit test project that targets desktop test hosts. Execute the suite using the dotnet test command to validate ViewModel logic.

Can I run xUnit tests on physical devices for .NET MAUI?

You can run xUnit tests on physical devices for .NET MAUI using on-device test runners. The guidance also covers desktop execution for broader validation of MAUI-agnostic unit test strategies.

How do I measure code coverage for MAUI unit tests?

Measure code coverage for MAUI unit tests by configuring your xUnit test project settings to capture coverage metrics. This validates that your ViewModel testing strategies cover isolated business logic.
