C# Code Coverage with Azure DevOps

I wrote this how-to blog post for myself to sort out how to get code coverage for C# in Azure DevOps' build pipelines. There are many blog posts about this but this one guides how to get reports even if there are many unit test projects in Visual Studio solution.

Better Unit Tests Without Setup Methods

Readability is key point in unit tests. One common antipattern with unit tests are setup methods, because they make unit tests more difficult to read. Here I have written how helper methods can be used instead of setup methods to make unit tests more readable.

Automatic Rollback to Integration Tests in C#

This is something that has made my integration tests better. You define a test method to run in transaction and rollback at the end of each test. This makes it possible to write integration tests that write to the database. And tests won't leave any "garbage" there because rollback at the end of the test undoes all database updates (and inserts and deletes). If this is possible in your language and testing framework I strongly recommend it. In this blog post I will explain how you can do it with NUnit in C#.
