Overview of this book

.NET Core is the general umbrella term used for Microsoft’s cross-platform toolset. Xamarin, used for developing mobile applications, is one of the app model implementations for .NET Core infrastructure. In this book, you'll learn how to design, architect, and develop attractive, maintainable, and robust mobile applications for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and UWP, with the toolset provided by Microsoft using Xamarin, .NET Core, and Azure Cloud Services. This book will take you through various phases of application development using Xamarin, from environment setup, design, and architecture to publishing, with the help of real-world scenarios. Throughout the book, you'll learn how to develop mobile apps using Xamarin, Xamarin.Forms, and .NET Standard. You'll even be able to implement a web-based backend composed of microservices with .NET Core using various Azure services including, but not limited to, Azure App Services, Azure Active Directory, Notification Hub, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, and Cognitive Services. The book then guides you in creating data stores using popular database technologies such as Cosmos DB, SQL, and Realm. Finally, you will be able to set up an efficient and maintainable development pipeline to manage the application life cycle using Visual Studio App Center and Visual Studio Services.

Automated Testing

Unit and coded UI tests are generally perceived by most developers as the most monotonous part of the application project life cycle. However, improving the unit test code coverage and creating automated UI tests can help to save an extensive amount of developer hours that would otherwise be spent on maintenance and regression. Especially on application projects with a longer life cycle, the stability of the project directly correlates with the level of test automation. This chapter will discuss how to create unit and coded UI tests and the architectural patterns that revolve around them. Data-driven unit tests, mocks, and Xamarin UI tests are some of the concepts that will be discussed.

The following topics will walk you through the implementation of an automatically verified application development pipeline:

  • Maintaining application integrity with tests
  • Maintaining...
