Throughout the video, we explore using the WebApplicationFactory to effectively run a test server and demonstrate implementing dependency injection to leverage an in-memory database. We also discuss the importance of testing a database in a test environment and touch on the benefits of Docker-based testing using TestContainers, which eliminates the need for a dedicated test environment.
Additionally, we cover using the IClassFixture interface to seamlessly share test context between methods within a test class and show how to manage the lifecycle of a test using IAsyncLifetime.
To increase the authenticity of the data used, we demonstrate the implementation of Bogus, a powerful tool for generating meaningful fake data.
Join us for our step-by-step guide to mastering ASP.NET integration testing and leveraging the capabilities of TestContainers and Web Application Factory. Improve your understanding of integration testing and optimize the reliability and efficiency of your ASP.NET Core WebAPI with xUnit.
