Tests in action

So far, we have discussed test strategies and various types of microservice tests. We've also discussed how to test and what to test. In this section, we will see tests in action; we will implement tests with the use of the following:

• Visual Studio 2017 Update 3 or later
• .NET Core 2.0
• C# 7.0
• ASP.NET Core 2.0
• xUnit and MS tests
• The moq framework

Getting ready for the test project

We will test our microservice application: FlixOne bookstore. With the help of code examples, we will see how to perform unit tests, stubbing, and mocking.

We created the FlixOne bookstore application in Chapter 2, Implementing Microservices.

Before we start writing tests, we should set up a test project in our existing application...
