# What

**Testing.Commons** contains classes and extensions that help testing code in general and more specific areas such as configuration and web artifacts.

# Why

For some time now I have been testing code from different applications using different testing frameworks.

Testing frameworks are awesome (some more than others) but they cannot cover all cases I found and sometimes they should not even try.

When some help to perform certain tasks was needed helpers, techniques and extensions have been developed or found and borrowed. I want to share some of those and maybe people can contribute with their own useful trickery.

# How

**Testing.Commons** (the project) is made up of three (so far) differentiated libraries

## Testing.Commons

**_Testing.Commons_** (the library) contains shared artifacts that can be applied to any testing framework. It contains no external dependencies outside the .NET Framework itself.

## Testing.Commons.NUnit

Most of the work that has given born to this project has been developed using [NUnit](http://www.nunit.com).

NUnit offers multiple extensibility points of which I have taken advantage to extend what the framework can do for me.

This library will contain NUnit-dependant code, mostly custom constraints.

## Testing.Commons.ServiceStack

> **DEPRECATED** 


> Having moved to target .NET 6 (previously .NET Core), _Testing.Commons.ServiceStack_ has been deprecated and __will not__ be receiving further improvements.

~~[ServiceStack](https://github.com/ServiceStackV3/ServiceStackV3) has turned into my default weapon of choice when developing services.~~

~~Although it does not receive the focus on testing like other frameworks (such as [NancyFx](http://nancyfx.org/)),

with very little extra work, you can test your services end to end (should you want to do so) or

test a single feature of your services in an integrated manner.~~

~~__Testing.Commons.ServiceStack__ provides that extra work, so that you only focus in what is important:

the correctness of your services.~~
