Given -When-Then example with NUnit

Question

Can anybody point me to some resources for Give-When-Then style of testing with NUnit?

Answer 1

The Given When Then style correlates closely to the Arrange Act Assert style for unit testing.

Here's an example:

[Test]
public void RotateAngle_Given27Degress_Returns64Degrees()
{
   //Arrange or Given
   var someAngleClass = new Angle();

   //Act or When
   var result = someAngleClass.Rotate(27);

   //Assert or Then
   Assert.That(result, Is.EqualTo(64));
}

The great thing about this testing style is you don't need to see the underlying code to understand the intent of the behavior.

Answer 3

If you download, and add a reference to, StoryQ, you can use a nice BDD style (see samples by clicking the link) and at the same time use NUnit as usual (and TestDriven.Net, R#'s runner, or what have you).
