Testing and mocking
Technology and Software Solutions
Familiarity with testing tools and practices such as Jest, mocking, and automated tests.
What this bullet means
The employer wants you to verify behavior, isolate dependencies, and explain what your tests prove.
Sample app idea
Feature Test Lab for testing ticket validation, search filters, mocked services, and expected error cases.
Main build outline
- Write tests for validation rules, search filters, and status transitions.
- Use mocking or fake services for dependencies that should not run in a unit test.
- Add test names that describe behavior instead of implementation details.
- Include a failing case, a success case, and an edge case for one feature.
- Document how to run the tests from Visual Studio and what the tests cover.
Portfolio proof
- Test results screenshot or terminal output.
- README section explaining what is tested and what is mocked.
- At least one test covering an edge case.
Minimal documentation
- README with the business problem, screenshots, setup notes, and technology stack.
- One requirements note that maps the job bullet to the sample feature.
- One test plan note with happy path, validation, and edge case checks.
- One honest portfolio note that says this is self-directed practice, not employer work.
Modern .NET stack
- Blazor Server or ASP.NET Core Razor Pages.
- C# services with validation and dependency injection.
- SQL Server locally, then SmarterASP SQL Server or Azure SQL.
- Optional Azure App Service, GitHub Actions, Docker, and AI helper feature.
