Subscribe to our community newsletter to receive notifications about future webinars. Getting started with Test Driven Development (TDD) can be very challenging. It requires a different mindset and approach to writing and developing code. However, once in that mindset, it is very difficult not to write tests first. But why bother writing tests first? In this session, we will go through the reasons for writing tests before coding, look at architectur

We are continuing our series on testing ASP.NET Core Web API projects using Rider. We will be using the HTTP Client built into Rider's IDE that will allow us to build the calls to our REST APIs developed in ASP.NET Core Web API. In this part, we will look at executing the HTTP Client scripts and examining the results of the responses. We will be testing the GET, POST, PUT and DELETE HTTP request verbs. We will also look at how we can compare the history of the responses that have taken place against our APIs over time. In this series: Testing and Profiling ASP.NET Core REST API's fro

There are many different ways to test Web API's developed using ASP.NET Core. Let's look at how we can cover testing and profiling our APIs inside Rider. We will be using the HTTP Client built into Rider's IDE that will allow us to build the calls to our REST APIs developed in ASP.NET Core Web API. In this first part of a two-part series, we will begin with creating and composing the scripts for our HTTP requests against an ASP.NET Core Web API solution. We will be testing the GET, POST, PUT and DELETE HTTP request verbs. In part two of the series, we will look at executing the HTTP request
