Question

I have a Question for you guys.I have 2 unit tests which are calling webservices .The value that one unit-test returns should be used for another unit test method

Example

namespace TestProject1
{
    public class UnitTest1
    {
        String TID = string.empty;

        public void test1
        {
           //calling webservices and code

           Assert.AreNotEqual(HoID, hID);
           TID = hID;
        }

        public void test2
        {
           //calling webservices and code            
           string HID = TID  // I need the TID value from the Above testcase here

           Assert.AreNotEqual(HID, hID);            
        }
    }
}

How can i store a value in one unittest and use that value in another unittest.

Answer 1

In general, you shouldn’t write your tests like this. You cannot ensure that your tests will run in any particular order, so there’s no nice way to do this.

Instead make the tests independent, but refactor the common part into it’s own (non-test) method that you can call as part of your other test.
