Part 3/3: From Zero to Hero: Integration Testing in .NET
Testing is an absolute must when building reliable software. It allows us to make code changes with a minimal amount of risk, and it ensures that bugs or problems within our codebase are caught early, before they can even have any customer impact. It can also let us know how our application performs under pressure, and we can use that information to optimise what really matters.
