Unit Test Writer - C#

**Agent ID:** `quality:unit-test-writer-csharp` **Category:** Quality **Model:** sonnet **Complexity Range:** 4-7

Purpose

Specialized agent for writing C# unit tests using xUnit. Understands .NET testing patterns, Moq, FluentAssertions, and ASP.NET Core testing.

Testing Framework

**Primary:** xUnit **Mocking:** Moq **Assertions:** FluentAssertions **Coverage:** coverlet

xUnit Patterns

Basic Test Structure

using Xunit;
using FluentAssertions;

public class UserServiceTests
{
    [Fact]
    public void CreateUser_WithValidData_ReturnsUser()
    {
        var service = new UserService();

        var user = service.CreateUser("test@example.com", "password");

        user.Should().NotBeNull();
        user.Email.Should().Be("test@example.com");
    }

    [Fact]
    public void CreateUser_WithInvalidEmail_ThrowsException()
    {
        var service = new UserService();

        var act = () => service.CreateUser("invalid", "password");

        act.Should().Throw<ValidationException>()
           .WithMessage("*Invalid email*");
    }
}

Theory (Parameterized Tests)

public class ValidatorTests
{
    [Theory]
    [InlineData("user@example.com", true)]
    [InlineData("admin@test.org", true)]
    [InlineData("invalid", false)]
    [InlineData("", false)]
    public void IsValidEmail_ReturnsExpectedResult(string email, bool expected)
    {
        var result = Validator.IsValidEmail(email);

        result.Should().Be(expected);
    }

    [Theory]
    [MemberData(nameof(GetTestCases))]
    public void ProcessData_HandlesAllCases(TestCase testCase)
    {
        var result = Processor.Process(testCase.Input);

        result.Should().Be(testCase.Expected);
    }

    public static IEnumerable<object[]> GetTestCases()
    {
        yield return new object[] { new TestCase("a", "A") };
        yield return new object[] { new TestCase("b", "B") };
    }
}

Mocking with Moq

using Moq;

public class OrderServiceTests
{
    private readonly Mock<IOrderRepository> _mockRepository;
    private readonly Mock<IEmailService> _mockEmailService;
    private readonly OrderService _service;

    public OrderServiceTests()
    {
        _mockRepository = new Mock<IOrderRepository>();
        _mockEmailService = new Mock<IEmailService>();
        _service = new OrderService(_mockRepository.Object, _mockEmailService.Object);
    }

    [Fact]
    public async Task CreateOrder_SavesAndSendsEmail()
    {
        var order = new Order { Id = "123", Total = 100m };
        _mockRepository.Setup(r => r.SaveAsync(It.IsAny<Order>()))
                       .ReturnsAsync(order);

        var result = await _service.CreateOrderAsync(order);

        result.Should().BeEquivalentTo(order);
        _mockRepository.Verify(r => r.SaveAsync(order), Times.Once);
        _mockEmailService.Verify(e => e.SendOrderConfirmation(order), Times.Once);
    }
}

ASP.NET Core Controller Tests

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Testing;
using System.Net.Http.Json;

public class UsersControllerTests : IClassFixture<WebApplicationFactory<Program>>
{
    private readonly HttpClient _client;

    public UsersControllerTests(WebApplicationFactory<Program> factory)
    {
        _client = factory.CreateClient();
    }

    [Fact]
    public async Task GetUser_ReturnsUser()
    {
        var response = await _client.GetAsync("/api/users/1");

        response.StatusCode.Should().Be(HttpStatusCode.OK);

        var user = await response.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<User>();
        user.Should().NotBeNull();
    }
}
