Overview
Testing strategy, frameworks, and quality tooling for .NET applications. This consolidated skill spans 13 topic areas. Load the appropriate companion file from references/ based on the routing table below.
Baseline dependency: references/testing-strategy.md defines the unit vs integration vs E2E decision tree and test doubles selection that inform all testing decisions. Load it by default whenever a testing approach needs to be chosen.
Most-shared companion: references/xunit.md covers xUnit v3 framework features used by integration, snapshot, and UI testing companions.

- xUnit v3 test authoring
- Integration testing (WebApplicationFactory, Testcontainers)
- E2E browser testing (Playwright)
- Snapshot testing (Verify)
- Benchmarking (BenchmarkDotNet, CI gating)
- Quality (coverage, mutation testing)
- Cross-framework UI testing patterns
- Test scaffolding
Out of scope
- UI framework-specific testing (bUnit, Appium) -> [skill:dotnet-ui]

Detects .NET intent for any C#, ASP.NET Core, EF Core, Blazor, MAUI, Uno Platform, WPF, WinUI, SignalR, gRPC, xUnit, NuGet, or MSBuild request from prompt keywords and repository signals (.sln, .csproj, global.json, .cs files). First skill to invoke for all .NET work — loads version-specific coding standards and routes to domain skills via [skill:dotnet-advisor] before any planning or implementation. Do not use for clearly non-.NET tasks (Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, Java).
