Automation Testing Strategies with ASP.NET Core

by Erik Dahl

Great automated tests that can be run while developing an ASP.NET Core application enables quality, reliability, and even continuous delivery. This course will teach you how to create and execute such a set of tests using .NET technologies.

What you'll learn

Many .NET applications have been written without automated tests - or if the tests have been written they've been done by a separate QA team rather than the developers. In the pursuit to build more quality into your applications, it's important to have an easy-to-run set of tests that can validate changes. In this course, Automation Testing Strategies with ASP.NET Core, you’ll learn to create an automation test suite that will create high confidence with every deployment. First, you’ll explore unit tests and integration tests that can be run within Visual Studio or the dotnet test command, and how to enrich those tests with good data. Next, you’ll discover how to create post-deployment tests - both end-to-end tests using Playwright and performance-related tests using NBomber. Finally, you’ll learn how to create an execution strategy so that these automated tests run when you want them to and support your development and deployment process. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of automation testing for ASP.NET Core needed to enable confident delivery and refactoring of your applications.
