The current C# HTTP client library needs improved test coverage to ensure robustness and catch edge cases. This includes both unit tests and integration tests that cover a wider range of scenarios.
Objective
Expand unit test coverage to include more edge cases, failure scenarios, and specific API behaviors.
Add integration tests to validate end-to-end functionality with external dependencies mocked.
Tasks
Unit Tests:
Use XUnit for writing the test cases.
Use NSubstitute for mocking internal dependencies.
Use FluentAssertions for asserting results and better readability.
Utilize Snapshooter for snapshot testing and result comparisons to ensure consistent responses over time.
Integration Tests:
Use WireMock to mock HTTP requests and simulate different responses from external services (success, failures, timeouts).
Write integration tests that simulate real-world scenarios with the library making requests to mocked endpoints.
Requirements:
Unit Test Coverage:
Cover methods in the library that currently lack sufficient testing.
Add tests for various input/output combinations, edge cases, and error handling scenarios.
Verify the proper handling of timeout and retry policies (if applicable).
Ensure the client handles different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) correctly.
Test Strategy:
XUnit for test framework.
NSubstitute for mocking dependencies and external services.
FluentAssertions for clearer and more expressive assertions.
Snapshooter for comparison of API responses and ensuring consistent behavior.
WireMock for simulating different API responses, ensuring the HTTP client reacts correctly in various scenarios.
Example:
public class HttpClientTests
{
private readonly IExternalService _mockService = Substitute.For<IExternalService>();
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Return_Correct_Response_On_Success()
{
// Arrange
var expectedResponse = new ApiResponse { ... };
var client = new HttpClient(_mockService);
_mockService
.GetAsync(Arg.Any<string>())
.Returns(Task.FromResult(expectedResponse));
// Act
var result = await client.GetDataAsync();
// Assert
result.Should().BeEquivalentTo(expectedResponse);
Snapshot.Match(result); // Snapshooter for result comparison
}
}
Additional Notes:
The tests should be structured in a way that they can run as part of CI pipelines.
Ensure high code coverage without compromising the readability and maintainability of the test cases.
Deliverables:
Increased unit test coverage with all major code paths covered.
Well-written integration tests for key scenarios with WireMock and snapshot testing using Snapshooter.
Clear and consistent test results using FluentAssertions for readability.
