In the previous post I demonstrated unit testing for the Azure Functions that are used by the Xamarin Mobile application for myWineDB (to-date). In this post (and the one to follow) I will document the challenges to writing unit tests for the Mobile application.

Unit Testing the Azure Functions API
Maybe I am old school and I have lost touch with the younger generation of programmers, but, in my day almost all programmers hated unit testing. I for one was one of them. No longer! When teams are spread across time zones and they contribute to the same project. Nothing will scream “OPPS!” louder thenContinue reading “Unit Testing the Azure Functions API”
Security by Obfuscation or Where is the API?
