Creating isolated integration tests

Isolated integration tests are automated tests that work with database objects within their own separate database. A new clean database instance is created for each test (using the default Kentico installation scripts) and then deleted after the test run. Note that integration tests are significantly slower than unit tests with faked data.

All test classes with isolated integration tests must inherit from the IsolatedIntegrationTests base class (provided by the CMS.Tests library). The base class automatically performs database initialization before test runs and cleanup thereafter.

Creating isolated integration tests

1. Open the solution containing your test project in Visual Studio.

2. Make the test class inherit from the IsolatedIntegrationTests base class.

   C#

   Copy

   using CMS.Tests;
   using NUnit.Framework;
   
   [TestFixture]
   public class MyIntegrationTests : IsolatedIntegrationTests
   {
       ...
   }
