Introduction 🤔

Picture this: You make a simple change to the code and suddenly realize that you've introduced a dozen unexpected bugs. Sound familiar? You’re not alone in this journey! 🙈

The good news is, unit testing can be your knight in shining armor, turning this common scenario into a distant memory. Whether you're new to automated testing or have previous attempts that didn't quite stick, this course is designed to elevate your C# development skills from beginner to master.

What is Unit Testing? 🧐

In a nutshell: Unit testing is the practice of writing code specifically to test other code – the bits of code that form the building blocks of an application. It's about ensuring each piece of your application performs as expected when isolated from the rest of the system. You then run these tests automatically, as often as you like!

Why Learn Unit Testing? 🤔✨

Why write extra code? Isn't that just additional complexity and a time-sink? Shouldn't you just test the application as an end user would?

The answer lies in the efficiency of automation. Manual testing for complex applications becomes increasingly cumbersome, costly, and error-prone. The earlier bugs are caught, the less they cost! Unit tests are your safeguard against the spiraling costs of quality assurance as your application grows.

The Benefits of Unit Testing 🚀

• Catch bugs early: Ensure that your code functions correctly before it's deployed to production.
• Write better code: Reduce the number of defects in your application and improve its design.
• Rapid feedback: Get immediate results on whether your latest changes have broken existing functionality.
• Documentation: Your tests serve as a living record of what your code is supposed to do.
• Save time and money: With unit tests, you can refactor confidently, knowing that you'll quickly catch any issues.
