Fields

Pending

A test instruction representing a BDD test step pending implementation. Will terminate the test as successful early, so that steps after it are skipped. Allows you to quickly write scenarios, and leave the implementation for later.

Declaration

public static readonly ITestInstruction<object> Pending

Field Value

Type	Description
ITestInstruction<object>

Methods

And(string, ITestInstruction<object>)

Creates a step that describes additional steps after a Given, When, or Then.

Declaration

public static IBddStep And(string description, ITestInstruction<object> instruction)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	description	Description of the step.
ITestInstruction<object>	instruction	Instruction to execute in this step.

Returns

Type	Description
IBddStep	The given instruction as a BDD test step.

But(string, ITestInstruction<object>)

Creates a step that describes additional steps after a Given, When, or Then.

Declaration

public static IBddStep But(string description, ITestInstruction<object> instruction)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	description	Description of the step.
ITestInstruction<object>	instruction	Instruction to execute in this step.

Returns

Type	Description
IBddStep	The given instruction as a BDD test step.

Given(string, ITestInstruction<object>)

Creates a step that describes the initial context of a test.

Declaration

public static IBddStep Given(string description, ITestInstruction<object> instruction)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	description	Description of the step.
ITestInstruction<object>	instruction	Instruction to execute in this step.

Returns

Type	Description
IBddStep	The given instruction as a BDD test step.

Scenario(string, string, string, int)

Starts building a new BDD-style scenario.

Declaration

public static ScenarioBuilder Scenario(string description, string memberName = "", string sourceFilePath = "", int sourceLineNumber = 0)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	description	Description of the scenario
string	memberName	Caller member name provided by compiler. May be overridden for custom operators.
string	sourceFilePath	Caller file path provided by compiler. May be overridden for custom operators.
int	sourceLineNumber	Source line number provided by compiler. May be overridden for custom operators.

Returns

Type	Description
ScenarioBuilder	A scenario builder with the given description.

Then(string, ITestInstruction<object>)

Creates a step that describes an expected outcome of a test.

Declaration

public static IBddStep Then(string description, ITestInstruction<object> instruction)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	description	Description of the step.
ITestInstruction<object>	instruction	Instruction to execute in this step.

Returns

Type	Description
IBddStep	The given instruction as a BDD test step.

When(string, ITestInstruction<object>)

Creates a step that describes an event or action in a test. This can be a person interacting with the system, or it can be an event triggered by another system.

Declaration

public static IBddStep When(string description, ITestInstruction<object> instruction)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	description	Description of the step.
ITestInstruction<object>	instruction	Instruction to execute in this step.

Returns

Type	Description
IBddStep	The given instruction as a BDD test step.
