Assumptions

Assumptions are intended to express the state a test must be in to provide a meaningful result. They are functionally similar to assertions, however an unmet assumption will produce an Inconclusive test result, as opposed to a Failure.

Assumptions make use of the Assume static class.

Syntax Example

[!code-csharpAssumptionsTests]

Assume.That() has the same set of overloads as Assert.That(). For further details, see the Constraint Model documentation.

[!NOTE] Failing assumptions indicate that running tests is invalid, while Multiple Asserts allow testing to continue after a failure. For that reason, the two features are incompatible and assumptions may not be used within a multiple assert block.
