abp-testing
ABP testing patterns - integration tests over unit tests, GetRequiredService, IDataSeedContributor, Shouldly assertions, AddAlwaysAllowAuthorization, NSubstitute mocking, WithUnitOfWorkAsync. Use when writing or reviewing tests for application services, domain services, or repositories in ABP projects.

ABP Testing Patterns
Test Project Structure
| Project | Purpose | Base Class |
|---|---|---|
*.Domain.Tests |
Domain logic, entities, domain services | *DomainTestBase |
*.Application.Tests |
Application services | *ApplicationTestBase |
*.EntityFrameworkCore.Tests |
Repository implementations | *EntityFrameworkCoreTestBase |
Integration Test Approach
ABP recommends integration tests over unit tests:
- Tests run with real services and database (SQLite in-memory)
- No mocking of internal services
- Each test gets a fresh database instance
Application Service Test
public class BookAppService_Tests : MyProjectApplicationTestBase
{
private readonly IBookAppService _bookAppService;
public BookAppService_Tests()
{
_bookAppService = GetRequiredService<IBookAppService>();
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Get_List_Of_Books()
{
// Act
var result = await _bookAppService.GetListAsync(
new PagedAndSortedResultRequestDto()
);
// Assert
result.TotalCount.ShouldBeGreaterThan(0);
result.Items.ShouldContain(b => b.Name == "Test Book");
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Create_Book()
{
// Arrange
var input = new CreateBookDto
{
Name = "New Book",
Price = 19.99m
};
// Act
var result = await _bookAppService.CreateAsync(input);
// Assert
result.Id.ShouldNotBe(Guid.Empty);
result.Name.ShouldBe("New Book");
result.Price.ShouldBe(19.99m);
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Not_Create_Book_With_Invalid_Name()
{
// Arrange
var input = new CreateBookDto
{
Name = "", // Invalid
Price = 10m
};
// Act & Assert
await Should.ThrowAsync<AbpValidationException>(async () =>
{
await _bookAppService.CreateAsync(input);
});
}
}
Domain Service Test
public class BookManager_Tests : MyProjectDomainTestBase
{
private readonly BookManager _bookManager;
private readonly IBookRepository _bookRepository;
public BookManager_Tests()
{
_bookManager = GetRequiredService<BookManager>();
_bookRepository = GetRequiredService<IBookRepository>();
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Create_Book()
{
// Act
var book = await _bookManager.CreateAsync("Test Book", 29.99m);
// Assert
book.ShouldNotBeNull();
book.Name.ShouldBe("Test Book");
book.Price.ShouldBe(29.99m);
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Not_Allow_Duplicate_Book_Name()
{
// Arrange
await _bookManager.CreateAsync("Existing Book", 10m);
// Act & Assert
var exception = await Should.ThrowAsync<BusinessException>(async () =>
{
await _bookManager.CreateAsync("Existing Book", 20m);
});
exception.Code.ShouldBe("MyProject:BookNameAlreadyExists");
}
}
Test Naming Convention
Use descriptive names:
// Pattern: Should_ExpectedBehavior_When_Condition
public async Task Should_Create_Book_When_Input_Is_Valid()
public async Task Should_Throw_BusinessException_When_Name_Already_Exists()
public async Task Should_Return_Empty_List_When_No_Books_Exist()
Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA)
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Update_Book_Price()
{
// Arrange
var bookId = await CreateTestBookAsync();
var newPrice = 39.99m;
// Act
var result = await _bookAppService.UpdateAsync(bookId, new UpdateBookDto
{
Price = newPrice
});
// Assert
result.Price.ShouldBe(newPrice);
}
Assertions with Shouldly
ABP uses Shouldly library:
result.ShouldNotBeNull();
result.Name.ShouldBe("Expected Name");
result.Price.ShouldBeGreaterThan(0);
result.Items.ShouldContain(x => x.Id == expectedId);
result.Items.ShouldBeEmpty();
result.Items.Count.ShouldBe(5);
// Exception assertions
await Should.ThrowAsync<BusinessException>(async () =>
{
await _service.DoSomethingAsync();
});
var ex = await Should.ThrowAsync<BusinessException>(async () =>
{
await _service.DoSomethingAsync();
});
ex.Code.ShouldBe("MyProject:ErrorCode");
Test Data Seeding
public class MyProjectTestDataSeedContributor : IDataSeedContributor, ITransientDependency
{
public static readonly Guid TestBookId = Guid.Parse("...");
private readonly IBookRepository _bookRepository;
private readonly IGuidGenerator _guidGenerator;
public async Task SeedAsync(DataSeedContext context)
{
await _bookRepository.InsertAsync(
new Book(TestBookId, "Test Book", 19.99m, Guid.Empty),
autoSave: true
);
}
}
Disabling Authorization in Tests
public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
context.Services.AddAlwaysAllowAuthorization();
}
Mocking External Services
Use NSubstitute when needed:
public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
var emailSender = Substitute.For<IEmailSender>();
emailSender.SendAsync(Arg.Any<string>(), Arg.Any<string>(), Arg.Any<string>())
.Returns(Task.CompletedTask);
context.Services.AddSingleton(emailSender);
}
Testing with Specific User
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Get_Current_User_Books()
{
// Login as specific user
await WithUnitOfWorkAsync(async () =>
{
using (CurrentUser.Change(TestData.UserId))
{
var result = await _bookAppService.GetMyBooksAsync();
result.Items.ShouldAllBe(b => b.CreatorId == TestData.UserId);
}
});
}
Testing Multi-Tenancy
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Filter_Books_By_Tenant()
{
using (CurrentTenant.Change(TestData.TenantId))
{
var result = await _bookAppService.GetListAsync(new GetBookListDto());
// Results should be filtered by tenant
}
}
Best Practices
- Each test should be independent
- Don't share state between tests
- Use meaningful test data
- Test edge cases and error conditions
- Keep tests focused on single behavior
- Use test data seeders for common data
- Avoid testing framework internals

agent-ops-spec
Manage specification documents in .agent/specs/. Use when user provides requirements, acceptance criteria, or feature descriptions that need to be tracked and validated against implementation.
agent-ops-state
Maintain .agent state files. Use at session start, after meaningful steps, and before concluding: read/update constitution/memory/focus/issues/baseline consistently.

agent-ops-testing
Test strategy, execution, and coverage analysis. Use when designing tests, running test suites, or analyzing test results beyond baseline checks.
