Right-click on the solution -> Add -> New Project…
(Figure 1)
Go to Installed -> Visual C# -> Test
Click on Unit Test Project
Give it a name and click OK
(Figure 2)
The unit test project is added to the solution
(Figure 3)
Adding the reference to the application you want to test
In the unit test project, add a reference to the project you want to test
Right-click on References -> Add Reference…
(Figure 3)
Select the project you want to test
Go to Projects -> Solution
Check the checkbox of the project you want to test -> click OK
(Figure 4)
Two methods to create unit tests
Method 1
Go to your unit test class in the unit test project
Write a unit test
[Testclass]
public class UnitTest1
{
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
//Arrange
ApplicationToTest.Calc ClassCalc = new ApplicationToTest.Calc();
int expectedResult = 5;
//Act
int result = ClassCalc.Sum(2,3);
//Assert
Assert.AreEqual(expectedResult, result);
}
}
Method 2
Go the method you want to test
Right-click on the method -> Create Unit Tests
(Figure 4)
Set Test Framework to MSTest
Set Test Project to the name of your unit test project
Set Output File to the name of the class of the unit tests
Set Code for Test Method to one of the options listed which you prefer
The other options can be edited but it’s not necessary
(Tip: If you haven’t made a unit tests project yet, you can still use this option. Just set Test Project to and Output File to . It will create the unit test project and it will add the reference of the project to the unit test project)
(Figure 5)
As you see below it creates the base of the unit test for you to fill in
(Figure 6)
Running unit tests within Visual Studio
To see you unit tests go to Test -> Windows -> Test Explorer
(Figure 1)
This will open an overview of all the tests in the application
(Figure 2)
In the figure above you can see that the example has one unit test and it hasn’t been run yet
You can double-click on a test to go to the code where the unit test is defined
You can run single or multiple tests with the Run All or Run…
You can also run tests and change settings from the Test menu (Figure 1)
Running code coverage analysis within Visual Studio
To see you unit tests go to Test -> Windows -> Code Coverage Results
(Figure 1)
It will open the following window
(Figure 2)
The window is now empty
Go to the Test menu -> Analyze Code Coverage
(Figure 3)
The tests will now be run as well (See the results in the Test Explorer)
The results will be shown in a table in with you can see which classes and methods are covered with unit tests and which aren’t
(Figure 4)
