This course will introduce you to a different way to think about testing your .NET code. Typical unit tests tend to be overly focused on the implementation details of the code instead of specifying the intent of the software. In this course, you will learn how to write specifications for your code using the Machine.Specifications (MSpec) framework. These specifications can more clearly describe what your software should do instead of how it does it, leading to a more useful and maintainable suite of tests for your system.
