Creating Maintainable Contexts for Automated Testing

Discover how to build robust and maintainable test contexts for your C# projects! This course dives into the challenges of traditional, hand-built test contexts – often brittle and difficult to update.

Learn to leverage familiar software principles and powerful design patterns to create test contexts that focus on the essential information for your team.

Here's what you'll explore:

• Test Context Fundamentals: Understand the key elements of a well-designed test context and identify common pitfalls.
• Object Mother Pattern: A widely used technique for extracting and organizing test context creation tasks.
• Object Builder Pattern: A modern and expressive evolution of the Object Mother, offering improved flexibility and readability.
• Roslyn C# Scripting: Automate repetitive tasks within the Object Builder pattern using Roslyn, freeing you to focus on critical aspects of your tests.

By the end of this course, you'll gain a deep understanding of what constitutes a good test context and acquire practical skills to implement these patterns in your current and future C# projects. Improve your testability and boost your team's efficiency with well-structured test contexts.
