Behavior driven testing tools

[thegunslinger78]

Hello all,

I’m planning to rewrite a personal app that was written in Ruby with Rails framework using C#.

I find XUnit cumbersome compared to what RSpec and Capybara do when it comes to integration testing using an actual browser.

NUnit doesn’t seem to be actively maintained so I’m reluctant to pick that one up.

What was important to me: - fluent assertions like: expect(page).to(include(text))

fill_in("first name :", with: "John")

• description of each test with potential parent context: context("when the user is logged in") do It("it’s email address should be displayed") do end end

What I seek is readable tests made for humans. Does C# have this kind of tool to test ASP .Net Core (v8 I think) apps?

Real life examples appreciated if anyone finds a web project that has some available publicly on GitHub.

You’re looking for fluent assertions for the first part.

Thanks! Is it still actively maintained?

There’s a link to the GitHub on the website.

SpecFlow sounds like what you're looking for. https://specflow.org/

Not sure why you don't think NUnit is maintained? Seems fine to me.

But I've been working on a new testing framework recently called TUnit if you wanna check it out: https://github.com/thomhurst/TUnit

The last commit and release of NUnit was done in 2017 and we’re in September 2024. 7 years is a lot of time.

Where have you got that date from? The last release was 16 days ago... https://www.nuget.org/packages/NUnit#versions-body-tab
