Unit Testing: MSTest, xUnit, and nUnit

• An understanding of Dot Net basics

Audience

• Software Testers

MSTest, xUnit, and nUnit are unit testing frameworks. MSTest is known for its integration-testing and it's the official unit testing framework created by Microsoft. nUnit is attributed to Dot Net unit testing. xUnit is specialized in 32-bit and 64-bit processing and is another framework attributed to Dot Net.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at software tester who wish to unit test code functionality using MSTest, xUnit, and nUnit.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create unit tests using MSTest to test software applications.
• Display test results with CodeLens.
• Understand the different testing tools for Test-Driven Development.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
