Question

I am writing integration tests.Now, before tests are run I want to setup the database with initial data.For this, I have created a separate project, which is run before test project is executed(using MSBuild file).But, I want to merge the db setup code in testproject, and have it executed before any tests get executed.I am using MBunit 3.Is it possible?

Answer 1

You can declare a class with the [AssemblyFixture] attribute; and a few methods into that class with the [FixtureSetUp] and [FixtureTearDown] attributes to define assembly-level setup and teardown methods.

[AssemblyFixture]
public class MyAssemblyFixture
{
   [FixtureSetUp]
   public void SetUp()
   {
      // Code to be run before any test fixture within the assembly are executed.
   }

   [FixtureTearDown]
   public void TearDown()
   {
      // Code to be run after all test fixture within the assembly are executed.
   }
}

In fact, the syntax is similar to what is usually done at test fixture level with the well-known [TestFixture], [SetUp], and [TearDown] attributes.
