FluentAssert ReadMe

Description

Fluent assertions express what you want tested instead of how. For example:

foo.ShouldBeNull();
"catalog".ShouldContain("cat");

instead of

Assert.IsNull(foo);
Assert.IsTrue("catalog".Contains("cat"));

Behavior Driven Development Framework

This project also provides a simple BDD framework that lets you write tests that can be easily understood and verified by non-developers:

Test.Given(_personRepository)
    .When(save_is_called)
	.With(a_person_without_a_first_name)
    .Should(not_populate_the_id_property_of_the_person)
    .Verify();

Test.Given(_personRepository)
    .When(save_is_called)
	.With(a_valid_person)
    .Should(save_the_person_data_in_the_database)
    .Should(populate_the_id_property_of_the_person)
    .Verify();

Test.Verify(
    when_save_is_called,
	with_a_valid_person,
    should_save_the_person_data_in_the_database,
    should_populate_the_id_property_of_the_person
    );

How To Build:

The build script requires Ruby with rake installed.

1. Run InstallGems.bat to get the ruby dependencies (only needs to be run once per computer)
2. open a command prompt to the root folder and type rake to execute rakefile.rb

If you do not have ruby:

1. open src\FluentAssert.sln with Visual Studio and build the solution
