Please file a bug report so that we can look into this issue. I have the same issue. Posted by rvstrt. If we want to compare two string with ignoring case options we can use Assert.

Equal string expectedString, string actualString,bool ignoreCase , for example, in the above example we can write this code Assert. Contains string expectedSubstring,string actualString method that evaluates our result contains expected substring such as Assert. We can use xunit to assert and evaluate numeric values, for this case we can use Assert.

We also have a compliment of equal in xunit that is Assert. To test our result to be in a specific expected range we have two options in xunit so in the first option we can use the True method for this case such as Assert. The second approach is better because if the test fails, it gives more detail and helpful error message against the True method. There are two methods for working with null in xunit Null and NotNull. Null object actualObject method, we can check whether our result object on SUT is null or actually it has a null reference the test will pass otherwise it will fail.

NotNull object actualObject method verifies that our object is not null reference. We can use the different approaches for asserting collection in Xunit that we mention some of them here.

I write some tests for this method here. One of most general way to write assertion for collection is checking our collection is not empty with this Assert. Count method, it is a little more specific. Contains 1, result in our example and we can also use Assert. Also, consider this.

That reasoning means that whenever you write a test on a function that returns an object, you should assertNotNull. Do you do that? Actually yes because I do TDD and so the first thing that is done is to return some non-null value. I get that if you are not doing TDD that would not be as obvious but probably still good practice.

That said, when checking each thing within the returned object I don't always check for null first. OK practice or lazyness? Kinda on the fence. JohnB Interesting point about the objects you're checking on the returned object. I do think it's telling, but I would ;. If not, why is that different? Because of the causal line of code in the exception stack trace. If the exception was thrown in the method under test you know the error is in the method under test.

If the exception is thrown from a line of code in the test it is not as obvious what has the bug test or method under test. If you call assertNotNull someVal ; then you're saying that this value should not be null, and you're specifically testing for that. Community Bot 1 1 1 silver badge.

One of the first they usually perform is a null hypothesis test. In short, the null hypothesis states that there is no meaningful relationship between two measured phenomena. After a performing a test, scientists can:. Rather, all that scientists can determine from a test of significance is that the evidence collected does or does not disprove the null hypothesis.

It is important to note that a failure to reject does not mean that the null hypothesis is true—only that the test did not prove it to be false. In some cases, depending on the experiment, a relationship may exist between two phenomena that is not identified by the experiment.

In such cases, new experiments must be designed to rule out alternative hypotheses. The null hypothesis is considered the default in a scientific experiment. In contrast, an alternative hypothesis is one that claims that there is a meaningful relationship between two phenomena.

These two competing hypotheses can be compared by performing a statistical hypothesis test, which determines whether there is a statistically significant relationship between the data.

For example, scientists studying the water quality of a stream may wish to determine whether a certain chemical affects the acidity of the water. The null hypothesis—that the chemical has no effect on the water quality—can be tested by measuring the pH level of two water samples, one of which contains some of the chemical and one of which has been left untouched. If the sample with the added chemical is measurably more or less acidic—as determined through statistical analysis—it is a reason to reject the null hypothesis.

If the sample's acidity is unchanged, it is a reason to not reject the null hypothesis. When scientists design experiments, they attempt to find evidence for the alternative hypothesis.
