Property data-driven unit tests

The lack of flexibility encountered when writing inline data-driven tests can be overcome through the use of property data-driven tests. Property data-driven unit tests are written in xUnit.net through the use of the MemberData and ClassData attributes. Using the two attributes, data theories can be created with data loaded from disparate data sources, such as files or databases.

The MemberData attribute is used when data theories are to be created and loaded with data rows coming from following data sources:

• Static property
• Static field
• Static method
