NaturalSpec is based on NUnit and completely written in F# - but you don't have to learn F# to use it. == Tutorials == * http://bit.ly/aKmLMx - Introducing NaturalSpec * http://bit.ly/rNIsm - "Getting started" with NaturalSpec * http://bit.ly/aBS5db - Using NaturalSpec to create a spec for C# projects * http://bit.ly/8ZtTTe - Mocking objects with NaturalSpec * http://bit.ly/aqDrUj - Parameterized Scenarios with NaturalSpec * http://bit.ly/ao3pAB - Testing Quicksort with NaturalSpec == Samples == You can write your spec mostly in natural language like in the following samples: === Sample 1 - Collections === [<Scenario>] let ``When removing an element from a list it should not contain the element``() = Given [1;2;3;4;5] // "Arrange" test context |> When removing 3 // "Act" |> It shouldn't contain 3 // "Assert" |> It should contain 4 // another assertion |> It should have (Length 4) // Assertion for length |> It shouldn't have Duplicates // Tests if the context contains duplicates |> Verify // Verify scenario When running this sample the output is the following: Scenario: When removing an element from a list it should not contain the element - Given [1; 2; 3; 4; 5] - When removing 3 => It should not contain 3 => It should contain 4 => It should have length 4 => It should not have Duplicates ==> OK ==> Time: 0.0239s === Sample 2 - Math === [<Scenario>] let ``When calculating factorial of 5 it should equal 120``() = Given 5 |> When calculating factorial |> It should equal 120 |> Verify The output of this sample is: Scenario: When calculating factorial of 5 it should equal 120 - Given 5 - When calculating factorial => It should equal 120 ==> OK ==> Time: 0.0043s === Sample 3 - Mocking === [<Scenario>] let ``When selling a car for 30000 it should equal the DreamCar mocked``() = As Bert |> Mock Bert.SellCar 30000 DreamCar |> When selling_a_car_for 30000 |> It should equal DreamCar |> Verify The output of this sample is: Scenario: When selling a car for 30000 it should equal the DreamCar mocked - As Bert - With mocking - When selling a car for 30000 => It should equal BMW (200 HP) => It should not equal Fiat (45 HP) ==> OK ==> Time: 0.0062s Read more about "http://bit.ly/8ZtTTe - Mocking objects with NaturalSpec". === Sample 4 - Expected Failures === You can use the Attribute "Fail", "Fail_with" and "Fail_with_type" if you want a specific scenario to fail: [<Scenario>] [<Fails_with_type (typeof<DivideByZeroException>)>] let ``When dividing by zero it should fail``() = Given 10 |> When dividing_by 0 |> Verify [<Scenario>] [<Fails_with "My error">] let ``When raising exception``() = Given 0 |> When raising "My error" |> Verify The output would look like: Scenario: When dividing by zero it should fail - Should fail with exception type System.DivideByZeroException - Given 10 - When dividing by 0 Scenario: When raising exception - Should fail with "My error" - Given 0 - When raising exception "My error" === Sample 5 - ScenarioTemplates === It is possible to use templates for scenarios: // with Example attribute [<Example(1, 1)>] [<Example(5, 120)>] [<Example(10, 3628800)>] let ``When calculating fac``(x,result) = Given x |> When calculating factorial |> It should equal result |> Verify This code creates 3 scenarios and the output would look like: Scenario: When calculating fac - Given 1 - When calculating factorial => It should equal 1 ==> OK ==> Time: 0.0292s Scenario: When calculating fac - Given 5 - When calculating factorial => It should equal 120 ==> OK ==> Time: 0.0064s Scenario: When calculating fac - Given 10 - When calculating factorial => It should equal 3628800 ==> OK ==> Time: 0.0058s If you want more flexibility you can use the ScenarioSource attribute: /// with a scenario source let MyTestCases = TestWith (tripleParam 12 3 4) |> And (tripleParam 12 4 3) |> And (tripleParam 12 6 2) |> And (tripleParam 0 0 0) |> ShouldFailWith (typeof<System.DivideByZeroException>) |> And (tripleParam 1200 40 30) [<ScenarioSource "MyTestCases">] let ``When dividing`` a b result = Given a |> When dividing_by b |> It should equal result |> Verify Read more about "http://bit.ly/aqDrUj - Parameterized Scenarios with NaturalSpec".

NaturalSpec is a .NET UnitTest framework which provides automatically testable specs in natural language. NaturalSpec is based on NUnit and completely written in F# - but you don't have to learn F# to use it.
