Question

Trying to create unit tests for my methods and can’t seem to get the configuration right.
I go New Test -> Unit Test Wizard -> Pick my method -> fill in test method values but I always get Assert.Inconclusive failed. Verify the correctness of this test method.

Here is a sample method:

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
        }

        public int Mult(int a, int b)
        {
            return a * b;
        }
    }
}

and the test method:

[TestMethod()]
        public void MultTest()
        {
            Program target = new Program(); // TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value
            int a = 4; // TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value
            int b = 5; // TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value
            int expected = 20; // TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value
            int actual;
            actual = target.Mult(a, b);
            Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual);
            Assert.Inconclusive("Verify the correctness of this test method.");
        }

Seems straight forward enough, but am I missing something trivial?

Answer 1

sure you do :

Assert.Inconclusive("Verify the correctness of this test method.");

Your test says inconclusive therfore the result of the test is inconclusive.. You should use this syntax “Assert.Inconclusive” only to cover edge cases you are really aware of.

AFAIC, I never use it.
