Introduction to Automation Testing
Explore how to implement automation testing for AWS Lambda functions using .NET testing frameworks such as xUnit, NUnit, and MSTest. Understand how to create test projects, define test cases, write both parameterized and non-parameterized tests, and run them efficiently to validate Lambda function behavior.
Automation testing is a technique that allows us to test the code of our application without having to build the entire application and validate its behavior manually. It can be applied to any application type, and AWS Lambda applications are not an exception.
How automation testing works on .NET
There are three main testing frameworks supported by .NET:
xUnit
NUnit
MSTest
Although these frameworks use different ways of writing tests, and each has its pros and cons, the general principles of how they work are the same. The process of writing tests will go through the following stages:
Create a test project: We need to create a project that will contain our test methods. This will always be separate from the ...
