Unit Testing with MSTest
The following examples show how to use generated mocks in unit tests with MSTest, the testing framework used by this project itself.

Before/After Comparison: Traditional vs Generated Mocks
Before: Using Traditional Mocking Framework (Moq)
using Moq;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
[TestClass]
public class TraditionalMockingTests
{
[TestMethod]
public async Task ProcessOrder_TraditionalMocking_RequiresComplexSetup()
{
// ❌ Traditional approach - Complex setup, runtime overhead
// Arrange - Lots of setup code with magic strings and expressions
var paymentMock = new Mock<IPaymentService>();
var inventoryMock = new Mock<IInventoryService>();
var shippingMock = new Mock<IShippingService>();
// Complex setup with expression trees (runtime compilation)
paymentMock
.Setup(x => x.ProcessPaymentAsync(It.IsAny<int>(), It.IsAny<decimal>()))
.ReturnsAsync(new PaymentResult { Success = true });
inventoryMock
.Setup(x => x.CheckAvailabilityAsync(It.IsAny<int>(), It.IsAny<int>()))
.ReturnsAsync(true);
inventoryMock
.Setup(x => x.ReserveItemsAsync(It.IsAny<int>(), It.IsAny<int>()))
.Returns(Task.CompletedTask);
shippingMock
.Setup(x => x.ScheduleShippingAsync(It.IsAny<Order>()))
.ReturnsAsync(new ShippingResult { TrackingNumber = "TRACK123" });
var orderService = new OrderProcessingService(
paymentMock.Object, // Proxy objects with runtime overhead
inventoryMock.Object,
shippingMock.Object);
var order = new Order { Id = 1, CustomerId = 100, Amount = 50.00m };
// Act
var result = await orderService.ProcessOrderAsync(order);
// Assert
Assert.IsTrue(result.Success);
// Verification requires more complex expressions
paymentMock.Verify(x => x.ProcessPaymentAsync(100, 50.00m), Times.Once);
inventoryMock.Verify(x => x.ReserveItemsAsync(It.IsAny<int>(), It.IsAny<int>()), Times.Once);
// ❌ Problems with traditional approach:
// - Runtime expression compilation overhead
// - Complex setup syntax with magic strings
// - Limited IntelliSense support
// - Difficult to debug proxy objects
// - Reflection-based, slower execution
// - Setup errors only discovered at runtime

After: Using TDoubles

// Act
var result = await orderService.ProcessOrderAsync(order);
// Assert
Assert.IsTrue(result.Success);
Assert.AreEqual("TRACK123", result.TrackingNumber);
// ✅ Benefits of generated approach:
// - Zero runtime overhead (compile-time generation)
// - Full IntelliSense and type safety
// - Simple, readable override syntax
// - Easy to debug (real C# code, not proxies)
// - Compile-time error checking
// - Direct method calls, no reflection

Results:
| Method | Mean | Error | StdDev | Ratio | Gen 0 | Allocated |
|-------------- |----------:|----------:|----------:|------:|------:|----------:|
| TraditionalMoq| 45.23 ns | 0.234 ns | 0.207 ns | 1.00 | 0.01 | 32 B |
| GeneratedMock | 2.15 ns | 0.012 ns | 0.011 ns | 0.05 | - | - B |
The generated mocks are 21x faster and produce zero allocations compared to traditional reflection-based mocking frameworks.
Performance Summary
/*
Performance Comparison Summary:
Traditional Mocking (Moq/NSubstitute):
- Runtime: 45.23 ns per call
- Memory: 32 bytes allocated per call
- Overhead: Expression compilation, reflection, proxy creation
Generated Mocking (TDoubles):
- Runtime: 2.15 ns per call
- Memory: 0 bytes allocated per call
- Overhead: None (compile-time generation)
Performance Improvement:
- 21x faster execution
- Zero memory allocations
- Compile-time type safety
- Full IntelliSense support
Generated mocks are ~20x faster with zero memory allocation!
