Test Driven Development in ASP.NET Core - The Handbook

In this course, you will learn the skills you need to be able to apply TDD in your .NET projects. Test Driven Development (TDD) is a powerful approach to building solid and robust software. Unit Testing is a type of software testing where code is written to automate the testing of sub-sections of an entire application. This methodology gives more functional coverage and reduces the need for manual regression testing when the application's code changes. The purpose is to validate that each unit of the software code performs as expected.

You will discover the basics of unit testing and the red-green-refactor cycle. You will also learn how to test and implement business logic in a .NET Core application using xUnit as a testing framework and Moq as a mocking library.

After this course, you will have fundamental knowledge of Test Driven Development that will help you as you move forward to test and implement new features in your C# projects. You will have the skills and knowledge of creating a testable and maintainable ASP.NET Core application needed to architect real-world, enterprise .NET Core apps.
