Welcome to the next stage in mastering Test Driven Development (TDD) in C#, where we will focus on setting up a robust testing environment. As you have learned through the TDD process, the Red-Green-Refactor cycle involves writing a failing test, implementing just enough code to pass it, and refining the implementation. In this lesson, we will set up the necessary tools for testing with xUnit , guiding you on how to create an efficient C# testing environment that complements the TDD cycle.
xUnit is a popular and widely used testing framework for the .NET ecosystem. Now, let's dive into setting up our testing environment in a systematic way.
To start using xUnit with C#, you'll need to create a test project within your solution. This can be accomplished using the .NET CLI within your terminal by running the following commands:
This command will generate a new xUnit test and install all the libraries necessary to run xUnit.
Running tests in xUnit is straightforward. You can leverage the .NET CLI to execute your tests with the following command:
