# NUnit 3 Testing Skill
## Core Patterns
### Basic Test
```csharp
using NUnit.Framework;
[TestFixture]
public class CalculatorTests
{
private Calculator _calculator;
[SetUp]
public void SetUp() => _calculator = new Calculator();
[Test]
public void Add_TwoPositiveNumbers_ReturnsSum()
{
Assert.That(_calculator.Add(2, 3), Is.EqualTo(5));
}
[Test]
public void Divide_ByZero_ThrowsException()
{
Assert.Throws<DivideByZeroException>(() => _calculator.Divide(10, 0));
}
[TearDown]
public void TearDown() { /* cleanup */ }
}
```
### Constraint Model (Assert.That)
```csharp
Assert.That(actual, Is.EqualTo(expected));
Assert.That(actual, Is.Not.EqualTo(unexpected));
Assert.That(value, Is.GreaterThan(5));
Assert.That(value, Is.InRange(1, 10));
Assert.That(str, Does.Contain("hello"));
Assert.That(str, Does.StartWith("He").IgnoreCase);
Assert.That(collection, Has.Count.EqualTo(3));
Assert.That(collection, Has.Member("item"));
Assert.That(collection, Is.All.GreaterThan(0));
Assert.That(obj, Is.Null);
Assert.That(obj, Is.Not.Null);
Assert.That(obj, Is.InstanceOf<MyClass>());
Assert.That(actual, Is.EqualTo(3.14).Within(0.01));
Assert.That(() => Method(), Throws.TypeOf<ArgumentException>()
.With.Message.Contains("invalid"));
```
### Parameterized Tests
```csharp
[TestCase(2, 3, 5)]
[TestCase(-1, 1, 0)]
[TestCase(0, 0, 0)]
public void Add_ReturnsCorrectSum(int a, int b, int expected)
{
Assert.That(_calculator.Add(a, b), Is.EqualTo(expected));
}
[TestCaseSource(nameof(DivisionCases))]
public void Divide_ReturnsCorrectQuotient(int a, int b, double expected)
{
Assert.That(_calculator.Divide(a, b), Is.EqualTo(expected).Within(0.01));
}
private static IEnumerable<TestCaseData> DivisionCases()
{
yield return new TestCaseData(10, 2, 5.0).SetName("10/2=5");
yield return new TestCaseData(7, 3, 2.33).SetName("7/3=2.33");
}
```
### Mocking with Moq
```csharp
using Moq;
[TestFixture]
public class UserServiceTests
{
private Mock<IUserRepository> _mockRepo;
private Mock<IEmailService> _mockEmail;
private UserService _service;
[SetUp]
public void SetUp()
{
_mockRepo = new Mock<IUserRepository>();
_mockEmail = new Mock<IEmailService>();
_service = new UserService(_mockRepo.Object, _mockEmail.Object);
}
[Test]
public void CreateUser_SavesAndSendsEmail()
{
_mockRepo.Setup(r => r.Save(It.IsAny<User>())).Returns(new User { Id = 1 });
var result = _service.CreateUser("[email protected]", "Alice");
Assert.That(result.Id, Is.EqualTo(1));
_mockRepo.Verify(r => r.Save(It.IsAny<User>()), Times.Once);
_mockEmail.Verify(e => e.SendWelcome("[email protected]"), Times.Once);
}
}
```
### Lifecycle
```
[OneTimeSetUp] → Before all tests in fixture
[SetUp] → Before each test
[Test] → Test method
[TearDown] → After each test
[OneTimeTearDown] → After all tests in fixture
```
### Categories and Attributes
```csharp
[Test, Category("Smoke")]
public void QuickTest() { }
[Test, Ignore("Bug #123")]
public void SkippedTest() { }
[Test, Timeout(5000)]
public void TimeLimitedTest() { }
[Test, Retry(3)]
public void FlakyTest() { }
```
### Anti-Patterns
| Bad | Good | Why |
|-----|------|-----|
| `Assert.AreEqual(a, b)` (classic) | `Assert.That(a, Is.EqualTo(b))` | Constraint model is richer |
| No `[SetUp]` | Proper lifecycle | Resource management |
| Testing private methods | Test public API | Encapsulation |
| No categories | `[Category("Smoke")]` | Run subsets |
## Setup: `dotnet add package NUnit NUnit3TestAdapter Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk`
## Run: `dotnet test` or `dotnet test --filter TestCategory=Smoke`
