Async Lifetime Tests with xUnit and AutoFixture
summary
A presentation about testing a basic CQS-pattern service that handles command requests and publishes events describing state transitions, focusing on common testing strategies and their pros/cons. It demonstrates using AutoFixture to simplify tests by injecting parameters into test methods, discusses problems with initialization and cleanup in async tests, and shows a lightweight integration between xUnit and AutoFixture to handle those async lifetime issues.
