Testing Precompiled Azure Functions: Deep Dive
Azure Functions and Visual Studio enable the easy development and execution of C# code in the cloud. This course will teach you how to implement tests at different levels of granularity to ensure your Azure Functions work as expected.
What you'll learn
Even though Azure Functions offer quick deployment of C# code to the cloud, it does not mean those functions should be published without first testing them. In this course, Testing Precompiled Azure Functions: Deep Dive, you'll learn how to write tests for your Azure Functions and workflows. First, you'll learn how to unit test core business logic and then how to test (and make testable) your function run methods. Next, you'll then discover how to use mocked function dependencies in your tests. Finally, you'll explore how to implement end to end function workflow tests. By the end of this course, you'll know how to ensure your Azure Functions are working as expected by implementing tests at different levels of granularity.
