asp.net mvc - What is the NUnit framework lifecycle execution order? -

recently, added test project in asp.net mvc project based on nunit framework (version 3.7.1.0). know there attributes in nunit other frameworks can add them our class , methods in order write better tests cases.

here attributes introduced nunit documentation:

• setup
• teardown
• testfixturesetup
• testfixtureteardown

i'd know execution order , performance consideration behind scenes implementing that.

i'd know execution order

setup/teardown methods related testfixture executed once testfixture. setup/teardown methods related test executed for each test. here order loop in middle:

testfixturesetup    // executed once before first test setup    setup            // excuted before *each* test    teardown         // executed after *each* test testfixtureteardown // executed once after last test teardown 

i use setup method move there code repeated in arrange part of test. intialize sut in setup method creating , providing required mocked dependencies.

testfixturesetup more global - prepares battleground tests in fixture. usually, use initialize environment - e.g. create database and/or setup tables initial data. testfixtureteardown used drop database. of course, environment initialization not related unit tests - it's acceptance tests.

performance consideration behind scenes implementing that

same other method calls. depends on put setup or teardown methods.
