.NET nanoFramework Unit Tests platform

nanoFramework offers a complete Unit Tests platform called nanoFramework.TestPlatform

What is nanoFramework.TestPlatform

nanoFramework.TestPlatform is a Unit Test platform dedicated to .NET nanoFramework! It has all the benefits of what you're used to when using Microsoft Test platform for .NET or XUnit or any other!

The framework includes multiple elements that are including in a single NuGet!

  • nanoFramework.TestPlatform which contains the attributes to decorate your code and the Assert classes to check that you're code is properly doing what's expected.
  • nanoFramework.UnitTestLauncher which is the engine launching and managing the Unit Tests.
  • nanoFramework.TestAdapter which is the Visual Studio Test platform adapter, allowing to have the test integration in Visual Studio.

The integration looks like that:

And the integration will point you up to your code for successful or failed tests:

Simply add the nanoFramework.TestPlatform NuGet to your project and you're good to go!

Once you'll build your project, the tests will be automatically discovered:
