How to write Unit Tests in .net

Unit tests are automated tests that verify the behavior code like methods and functions. Writing unit tests is crucial to clean coding, as they help ensure your code works as intended and catches bugs early in the development process. I can share some tips for writing effective unit tests: Write tests for all public methods Every public method in your code should have a corresponding unit test. This helps ensure that your code behaves correctly and catches any unexpected behavior early. public class Calculator { public int Add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } } [TestClass] public class CalculatorTests { [TestMethod] public void Add_ShouldReturnCorrectSum() { // Arrange Calculator calculator = new Calculator(); int a = 1; int b = 2; // Act int result = calculator.Add(a, b); // Assert Assert.AreEqual(3, result); } } Test boundary conditions  Make sure to test boundary conditions, such a...
