TestBase gives you a flying start with

fluent assertions that are very easy to extend
Object and Collection comparers
Sharper error messages showing detailed Actual and Asserted
tools to help you test with “heavyweight” dependencies on
- AspNetCore.Mvc, AspNet.Mvc or WebApi Contexts
- HttpClient
- Ado.Net
- Streams & Logging
Mix & match with your favourite test runners & assertions.

  .ShouldEqualByValue(expected)
ControllerUnderTest.Action()
  .ShouldBeRedirectToRouteResult()
  .ShouldHaveRouteValue("expectedKey", [Optional] "expectedValue");

ShouldHaveViewDataContaining(), ShouldBeJsonResult() etc.

Test AspNetCore controllers with zero setup using controllerUnderTest.WithControllerContext(actionUnderTest)
Test more complex AspNetCore controller/application dependencies using HostedMvcTestFixtureBase and specify your MVCApplications Startup class.

[TestCase("/dummy")]
public async Task Put_Should_ReturnA(string url)
{
    var httpClient=GivenClientForRunningServer<Startup>();
    GivenRequestHeaders(httpClient, "CustomHeader", "HeaderValue1");

    var result = await httpClient.PutAsync(url, json);

    result.ShouldBe_202Accepted();
}

For Mvc4 and Mvc 5, fake your http request & context, and use the RegisterRoutes method of your actual application to set up Controller.Url

ControllerUnderTest
  .WithHttpContextAndRoutes(
    RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes, 
    "/incomingurl"
  );

ApiControllerUnderTest.WithWebApiHttpContext<T>(
    httpMethod, 
    requestUri,
    routeTemplate)

Testable Logging

// Extensions.Logging.ListOfString
var log = new List<String>();
ILogger mslogger= new LoggerFactory().AddStringListLogger(log).CreateLogger("Test2");

// Serilog.Sinks.ListOfString
Serilog.Logger slogger= new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.StringList(log).CreateLogger();
