Summary

Unit testing is essential when writing any application. As a developer we are usually writing systems to automate some business process. That is exactly what Microsoft has done for us in the case of the unit testing business process. They have given us a great tool that will allow us as a developer to automate the task of unit testing our code. This greatly reduces the risks of introducing bugs when enhancements or revisions are made to existing code. The step of automating your unit tests should be an essential step in any development effort. There are many more capabilities in the unit testing framework that I will try to address in more detail in future articles.

Good luck on your project and happy coding.

The purpose of unit testing is to validate that the code you wrote performs as expected. In this example the CalculateDistance method has a few different expected results depending on the parameters that were passed in. As a developer you should test all of the expected results. If at a later date you make a change to the method you still need to validate that all of the expected results are being produced. This tool allows you to automate the process of testing your code so it should be easier to maintain and ensure the application is working as expected.

It's good understand for me, but If you can describe what is the purpose of unit testing in asp.net and how can use it.
One more think is that explain in basic and simple language
