针对 ASP.NET REST Web ZDB974238714CA8DE63FZACE7服务器运行单元测试的最佳方法是什么

Question

We have an ASP.NET Web API server app that provides a REST API.

What I want is pretty simple. That when our unit tests run, and I prefer NUnit but can do the Microsoft test framework, that it would fire up the server app. And I then have unit tests written that make REST calls and assert the returned response.

Which leaves the questions:

1. Is there a way when the tests start, to first get our server web app up and running on IIS Express. And not start the tests until it is running and available.
2. Is there a way to either hard-code the port for the web app on IIS Express or to get the port for the unit tests?
3. How do I get IIS Express to end my web app and then exit?
4. To do this, do I then need all the tests in one suite so I'm not starting & stopping multiple instances of our web app?

Answer 1

You described a integration tests in asp.net core and there is quite good documentation for that starting with this

You need to basically setup a host inside your IntegrationTests solution using Generic host and then all points 1-4 are covered
