npx skills add https://github.com/lambdatest/agent-skills --skill nunit-skill
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads nunit-skill automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

NUnit 3 Testing Skill

Core Patterns

Basic Test

using NUnit.Framework;

[TestFixture]
public class CalculatorTests
{
    private Calculator _calculator;

    [SetUp]
    public void SetUp() => _calculator = new Calculator();

    [Test]
    public void Add_TwoPositiveNumbers_ReturnsSum()
    {
        Assert.That(_calculator.Add(2, 3), Is.EqualTo(5));
    }

    [Test]
    public void Divide_ByZero_ThrowsException()
    {
        Assert.Throws<DivideByZeroException>(() => _calculator.Divide(10, 0));
    }

    [TearDown]
    public void TearDown() { /* cleanup */ }
}

Constraint Model (Assert.That)

Assert.That(actual, Is.EqualTo(expected));
Assert.That(actual, Is.Not.EqualTo(unexpected));
Assert.That(value, Is.GreaterThan(5));
Assert.That(value, Is.InRange(1, 10));
Assert.That(str, Does.Contain("hello"));
Assert.That(str, Does.StartWith("He").IgnoreCase);
Assert.That(collection, Has.Count.EqualTo(3));
Assert.That(collection, Has.Member("item"));
Assert.That(collection, Is.All.GreaterThan(0));
Assert.That(obj, Is.Null);
Assert.That(obj, Is.Not.Null);
Assert.That(obj, Is.InstanceOf<MyClass>());
Assert.That(actual, Is.EqualTo(3.14).Within(0.01));
Assert.That(() => Method(), Throws.TypeOf<ArgumentException>()
    .With.Message.Contains("invalid"));

Parameterized Tests

[TestCase(2, 3, 5)]
[TestCase(-1, 1, 0)]
[TestCase(0, 0, 0)]
public void Add_ReturnsCorrectSum(int a, int b, int expected)
{
    Assert.That(_calculator.Add(a, b), Is.EqualTo(expected));
}

[TestCaseSource(nameof(DivisionCases))]
public void Divide_ReturnsCorrectQuotient(int a, int b, double expected)
{
    Assert.That(_calculator.Divide(a, b), Is.EqualTo(expected).Within(0.01));
}

private static IEnumerable<TestCaseData> DivisionCases()
{
    yield return new TestCaseData(10, 2, 5.0).SetName("10/2=5");
    yield return new TestCaseData(7, 3, 2.33).SetName("7/3=2.33");
}

Mocking with Moq

using Moq;

[TestFixture]
public class UserServiceTests
{
    private Mock<IUserRepository> _mockRepo;
    private Mock<IEmailService> _mockEmail;
    private UserService _service;

    [SetUp]
    public void SetUp()
    {
        _mockRepo = new Mock<IUserRepository>();
        _mockEmail = new Mock<IEmailService>();
        _service = new UserService(_mockRepo.Object, _mockEmail.Object);
    }

    [Test]
    public void CreateUser_SavesAndSendsEmail()
    {
        _mockRepo.Setup(r => r.Save(It.IsAny<User>())).Returns(new User { Id = 1 });

        var result = _service.CreateUser("alice@test.com", "Alice");

        Assert.That(result.Id, Is.EqualTo(1));
        _mockRepo.Verify(r => r.Save(It.IsAny<User>()), Times.Once);
        _mockEmail.Verify(e => e.SendWelcome("alice@test.com"), Times.Once);
    }
}

Lifecycle

[SetUp]           → Before each test
[Test]            → Test method
[TearDown]        → After each test
