[NUnit+Moq] Guidelines for using Assert versus Verify

Question

I'm new to unit testing, and I'm learning how to use NUnit and Moq. NUnit provides Assert syntax for testing conditions in my unit tests, while Moq provides some Verify functions. To some extent these seem to provide the same functionality.

How do I know when it's more appropriate to use Assert or Verify?

Maybe Assert is better for confirming state, and Verify is better for confirming behavior (Classical versus Mockist)?

Answer 1

Your assumption about Assert to confirm State and Verify to confirm behavior is correct.

You Assert a result, or a value

You Verify that a method has been called with appropriate parameters.
