Pluralsight - Automated Testing in ASP.NET With SpecsFor and SpecsFor.Mvc (2015)

Learn how to effectively create automated unit, integration, and UI tests for your ASP.NET MVC applications using SpecsFor and SpecsFor.Mvc. SpecsFor is a unit testing framework based on NUnit. It is designed to streamline common testing workflows, to eliminate pain, and to make you more productive. SpecsFor.Mvc is an end-to-end testing framework for ASP.NET MVC applications. It allows you to create tests with a strongly-typed, unit-test-like API that powers a web browser. This course will show you how to use both of these tools to effectively test your ASP.NET MVC applications.
