Based on our experience interacting with 100s of customers across the globe, we have found a common need and that is creation of a simple base architecture using Kendo UI controls, .Net MVC and Entity framework along with a simple test project. In this article I am going to step by step walk you though process. this article is mainly intended for developers who is in the process of creating such an architecture.

Set up the Database and Insert/Update/Select Operation in procedure.

Open SSMS with new Query editor window, create a new database and a table for the demo purpose. here, the table and stored procedure is given below.

1. Table
    
2. Store Procedure
   SP for Getting employees Recode
   
   SP for Add-Update-Delete Recode
   
   After Inserting Data some sample record.
   
   Create a new ASP.NET MVC applicationCreate a new empty ASP.NET MVC Application, as per the following figures. Open Visual Studio  File  New project  ASP.NET Web Application Do Required Name of Project as in this case I given “Simple CRUD”.
3. Generate the Model
   
   Open Solution Explorer ->Models -> Construct a new “Employee Model” class file along with requited attribute together with Data Annotations for Model.
4. Provide the DB Connection
   

   • Open Solution Explorer ->web.config.

   • Provide the name of the local Server, where the database was created (in this case (local Server)).

   • After providing the Server name Create new file folder under corresponding Solution Project and name is as “ConfigModels” In which I’m going generate repository along with Context file.

   1. Create Context file. “Remember file name should be same as connection string name (In this case (EmpolyeeContext))” by inheritance DbContext class.

   

   2. Implement the Repository.

   

   

   • Here I have implemented Interface and Sql Repository class which derived Interface.

    

5. Create a Controller

• Create a new empty controller. Right-click the Controllers folder and select Add  New Empty Controller. In this case I’m using HomeContoller

6. Create a View

Create a new empty controller, Right-click the CRUD folder under View Folder, and select Add  New Empty View. In this case, I named it as Index.cshtml.

Add Update View:

7. By Running MVC Project you will get output

Also, you can do CRUD operations.

Now Add new Project for the Unit Testing

Open Solution Explorer  Add  New Project  Select Unit Test Project Create

In this Case I have given (SimpleCRUD.UnitTest)

Right-click and add new folder name as controllers under SimpleCRUD.UnitTest Project for HomeContoller.

There are some attributes and objects, used to create the test cases.

TestClass: This attribute defines that this class is being used for test cases and this must be defined with Test Cases Class.

TestMethod: It describes that the particular method which uses TestMethod attribute, is participating in Test Cases.

If you are going to test any of the method then you need to use the following steps.

1. Arrange –You need to assign the value into the variable to test the functionality. (“Controller is Arrange”)

2. Act – It is used to execute and capture result of the Method to take parameter value from Arrange Section. (“Result is Act”)

3. Assert – It is actual test object to compare the actual result data with your expected data.

Now Add the List (Index) View Test Case along with Add-Update view.

• So, now it is time to run the test cases. Go to Test Menu  Run  select All Tests.

• In menu bar go to Test menu  Run All Test

• Let’s see result of Index Method in debug mode:

• As you see in Image the Index method getting similar result by Home Controller  Index View get.

• Now you can see test cases is pass by Green Icon or fail by Red Icon In case fail, you can come up with TDD (Test driven development)

• In similar fashion you can make Delete Employee’s test cases.

In the above image you will find that your test case is running successfully. So, this is the way to write your own unit test cases and validate case in ASP.NET MVC.
