Expert ASP.NET Web API

Answer

Effective testing ensures correctness, stability, and performance:

  • Unit test controllers using mocked services (Moq, NSubstitute).
  • Use WebApplicationFactory or TestServer for integration tests.
  • Use Postman/Newman or CI pipelines for end-to-end validation.
  • Validate headers, status codes, responses, and edge cases.
  • Load test APIs using JMeter, k6, or Locust to verify scalability.
