This study is focused on learning how to develop a .NET 6 Web API using Test Driven Development (TDD) principles. TDD is an approach where we write tests before writing the actual code, ensuring better code quality, maintainability, and reliability.
Using the YouTube video titled "Building a .NET 6 API Using TDD," I've created a .NET 6 Web API application from scratch using TDD practices. The video covers the following topics:
- Setting up a new solution and project structure.
- Adding web and unit test projects to the solution.
- Writing unit tests for our API using xUnit.
- Utilizing HttpClient for testing HTTP requests.
- Applying .NET Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control (IoC) principles.
- Understanding SOLID design principles for better software architecture.
- Developing RESTful APIs using the .NET 6 framework.
- Using the dotnet CLI for building and managing the project.
