ASP .NET 5 & Unit Testing

By Shahed C on August 22, 2015

Learn how you can build more robust web applications with automated unit testing! While there are plenty of resources for learning ASP.NET web application development, many developers are missing out on the knowledge and experience of implementing proper Unit Tests. As ASP.NET 5 gets ready for prime time, it’s essential for all .NET developers to get an understanding of how to build Unit Tests for real-world applications in a cloud-first mobile-first world.

The following presentation material was put together for a live audience for my in-person presentations.

1. Greg, tell us a little bit about yourself and your team.

I have received a BA in Graphic Design, and a BS and MS in Computer Science (CS) from the University of Maryland. Currently, I am a PhD student in CS at the same University. My team consists of four very talented young individuals and myself.

We currently have two other CS PhD students, one Physics Masters student, and one Computer Engineering undergraduate student. Neither one of us is fully finished with his educational goals, and some of us are still finidng our true calling, so we are forced to collaborate in an ad-hoc fashion.

Whenever any of us has the time and energy, they contribute. Hence, I am the only “permanent” member, and we are allways looking for like-minded, driven, and talented individuals.

This presentation “ASP.NET & Unit Testing” was delivered at my monthly meetup in Reston.

 

NOTE: For the section on Moq, I advised attendees that you should never mock an object in a test method when you’re testing that particular object in that method. The example shown in that section is to illustrate a simple example, and is not suitable for production code.
