Markop Test

Markop Test is an open-source testing toolkit for ASP.NET applications. It provides reusable factories to build unit, integration, functional, and load tests on top of xUnit with minimal boilerplate.

Why Markop Test

• Reduces setup code for web-hosted tests
• Supports endpoint-oriented integration testing
• Enables scenario-style functional tests
• Generates HTML reports for load testing
• Integrates with standard xUnit workflows

Supported Frameworks

Markop Test currently targets:

• .NET 8
• .NET 9
• .NET 10

Installation

Install from NuGet in your test project:

Install-Package MarkopTest

Or with the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package MarkopTest

Quick Start

1. Create a test project (class library or xUnit project).
2. Add a reference to the application project you want to test.
3. Install MarkopTest.
4. Create an AppFactory class that inherits one of the test factories.
5. Write tests by inheriting from your AppFactory.

Example project creation:

dotnet new classlib -n IntegrationTest
dotnet sln add IntegrationTest
dotnet add IntegrationTest package MarkopTest

Core Concepts

Factory-Based Setup

Each test style has a factory base class:

• UnitTestFactory<TStartup>
• IntegrationTestFactory<TStartup, TFetchOptions>
• FunctionalTestFactory<TStartup>
• LoadTestFactory<TStartup>

You typically override these members:

• Initializer(IServiceProvider hostServices) to seed data and prepare test state
• ConfigureTestServices(IServiceCollection services) to replace or mock dependencies
• GetUrl(string url, string controllerName, string testMethodName) for integration/load routing
• ValidateResponse(HttpResponseMessage response, TFetchOptions options) for integration assertions

Endpoint Routing Attribute

Use [Endpoint("...")] on test classes or methods. Markop Test replaces:

• [controller] with test class name (suffixes like Test, Tests, and Controller are removed)
• [action] with the current test method name

Test Types

Unit Tests

Use UnitTestFactory when testing isolated application behavior while still having host and DI access.

Integration Tests

Use IntegrationTestFactory to send HTTP requests to your in-memory test server and validate full pipeline behavior.

Functional Tests

Use FunctionalTestFactory for end-to-end business scenarios composed of multiple integration-level actions.

Load Tests

Use LoadTestFactory to execute synchronous and asynchronous request batches and export performance reports to LoadTestResult/....
