[Test] public void Add_two_numbers() { var calculator = new RpnCalculator();

Don’t Repeat Yourself
[SetUp] public void SetUp() { _calculator = new RpnCalculator(); _calculator.Push(5);
_calculator.Push(3); } [Test] public void Add_two_numbers() { Assert.That(_calculator.Add(), Is.EqualTo(8)); } private RpnCalculator _calculator; [SetUp] public void SetUp() { _calculator = new RpnCalculator(); _calculator.Push(5); _calculator.Push(3); } [Test] public void Add_two_numbers() { Assert.That(_calculator.Add(), Is.EqualTo(8)); } [Test] public void Subtract_two_numbers() { Assert.That(_calculator.Subtract(), Is.EqualTo(2)); }
Repeat everything
[Test] public void Add_two_numbers() { var calculator = new RpnCalculator();

Separate mechanics from data
public void SetUp() { _calculator = new RpnCalculator(); } [Test]
public void Add_two_numbers() { _calculator.Push(5); _calculator.Push(3); Assert.That(_calculator.Add(), Is.EqualTo(8)); } private RpnCalculator _calculator; [SetUp] public void SetUp() { _calculator = new RpnCalculator(); } [Test] public void Add_two_numbers() { _calculator.Push(5); _calculator.Push(3); Assert.That(_calculator.Add(), Is.EqualTo(8)); } [Test] public void Subtract_two_numbers() { _calculator.Push(5); _calculator.Push(3); Assert.That(_calculator.Subtract(), Is.EqualTo(2)); }
If it isn’t data, it must be mechanics https://www.flickr.com/photos/sarahreido/3120877348
[Test] public void Show_result_of_an_addition_on_the_display() { var stubCalculatorEngine = Substitute.For<ICalculatorEngine>(); stubCalculatorEngine.Add(1,

Keep only what is essential to understand the test
