Visual Studio Unit Test
Unit tests are the most common type of developer test, and most programmers rely on a unit test framework to create and run those tests. In this course, Walt Ritscher takes a deep dive into the unit test tools available in Visual Studio. Walt gives an overview of unit tests and how they integrate with Visual Studio, then takes a deeper look. Cover Unit Tests Control+T H: By clicking this button, you can start code coverage of the selected tests. This button appears if JetBrains dotCover is integrated with Visual Studio. Profile Unit Tests: By clicking this button, you can profile selected tests. This button appears if JetBrains dotTrace is integrated with Visual Studio.
Generates a unit test boilerplate from a given C# class, setting up mocks for all dependencies and test outlines for all public methods.
Test frameworks supported:
- Visual Studio
- NUnit
- xUnit
Mock frameworks supported:
- FakeItEasy
- JustMock
- Moq + AutoMoq
- NSubstitute
- Rhino Mocks
- SimpleStubs
Dependency injection modes supported:
- Constructor injection via any IoC framework
- Property injection via Unity, Ninject or Grace
Right click an item in Solution Explorer and choose 'Create Unit Test Boilerplate' .
This will create a test class in the same relative path as the class in a specified unit test project.All the dependencies are mocked and saved as fields which are created fresh for each test via [TestInitialize]. In addition, all public methodson the tested class are set up with a test method outline:
Each mocking framework has its own pattern.

Other features
- Customize the unit test output via templates: Go to Options > Unit Test Boilerplate Generator > Templates
- Supports mocking generic interfaces
- Automatically brings in appropriate using statements
- Applies any user-specific formatting rules to the generated code
- Automatically detects which mocking library and test framework you're using
See the changelog for changes and roadmap. If you'd like to see support for other mockingframeworks or other IoC frameworks, open an issue.
