Portamical.Core 1.0.3

Portamical.Core

Portamical.Core is the framework-agnostic core of Portamical: a universal, identity-driven test data modeling framework for .NET.

Define test data once and consume it across test frameworks using adapter packages—without rewriting the data or sacrificing strong typing.

Install

dotnet add package Portamical.Core

You will typically also install a Portamical adapter package for your test framework (xUnit / MSTest / NUnit).

Example

Create reusable test data in a single place:

using static Portamical.Core.Factories.TestDataFactory;

public sealed class CalculatorCases
{
    public static IEnumerable<TestData<int, int>> Add()
    {
        yield return CreateTestData(
            definition: "adding two positive numbers",
            result: "returns their sum",
            arg1: 2,
            arg2: 3);

        yield return CreateTestData(
            definition: "adding with zero",
            result: "returns the other number",
            arg1: 0,
            arg2: 5);
    }
}

Then consume via your test framework’s adapter (usage varies by framework).
