NUnit's closest equivalent of MbUnit's [DynamicTestFactory] for dynamic tests


I'm looking for NUnit's closest equivalent to MbUnit's [DynamicTestFactory] so I can create dynamtic tests on runtime. Is there an equivalent in NUnit? Thank you.


Solution

  • I haven't used MbUnit, but the closest thing to DynamicTestFactory that I know of in NUnit is TestCaseSource.

    I found this example of DynamicTestFactory (from here):

    [DynamicTestFactory]
    public IEnumerable<Test> Should_Create_And_Execute_Dynamic_Tests()
    {
       IEnumerable<int> list = new[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
       foreach (int i in list) 
       { 
          yield return new TestCase(string.Format("Test {0}",i), 
             () => { Assert.IsTrue(MyFunction(i)); });
       }
    }
    

    This is how you would use NUnit's TestCaseSource (see here) to accomplish the same thing:

        [Test, TestCaseSource("SourceList")]
        public void MyFunctionTest(int i)
        {
            Assert.IsTrue(MyFunction(i));
        }
    
        private static readonly IEnumerable<int> SourceList = new[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
