What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps .NET teams adopt true Test-Driven Development by providing a concise framework for writing tests before implementation, guiding teams through disciplined test-first cycles for ASP.NET Core and EF Core features.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Red-Green-Refactor workflow: enforces failing tests, minimal production code, and clean refactors for robust .NET codebases.
• Testing best practices: codifies rules like avoiding getter/setter tests, testing public behavior, and prioritizing integration tests for real outcomes.
• ASP.NET Core + EF Core guidance: applies TDD patterns to API services, data access layers, and domain logic using xUnit and NSubstitute.

Quick Start

Run the standard TDD cycle in your project: write a failing test for a new feature, implement just enough code to pass the test, and then refactor while keeping all tests green.
