Explain Test Passed-Test Explorer (using NUnit)

Question

Hi All, Just now I did Unit Test Demo But i have one doubt in my mind what does it mean Test Passed.? Is there any criteria where Unit Tests decides which test pass or which one has failed?

It's upto you to write the logic to either consider the test passed or failed. The nUnit does not apply any logic on it's own to consider your business logic. It only gives it's result based on the "Assert" statements you have written. Usually what I do is I write multiple test cases for a method or function so that to test each and every aspect of it, by passing valid values, invalid values and those which will raise exceptions. Then I assert accordingly using Assert.Equal, Assert.NotEqual, etc methods. The following link explains very basic ones. http://www.infragistics.com/community/blogs/dhananjay_kumar/archive/2015/07/27/getting-started-with-net-unit-testing-using-nunit.aspx P.S. explore more on FakeItEasy, FluentAssertions, Ploeh.AutoFixture nuGet packages, I use those along with nUnit

In NUnit , we write some asssert statement for our code which is used for validation.Asser implementation can only through an exception. You can view the passed test cases in Testexplorer. View->TestExplorer. Here the test explorer displays the all the testcases.
