matthewkastor / NUnit parameterized tests with typed specs.cs

Created January 25, 2016 19:37

Snippets of code for creating test spec objects, but still having NUnit list each method with it's args as an individual test in the tree

	// NUnit can use a list of "TestParameters", but then it
	// doesn't populate the list of tests with the method(parameter, parameter)
	// item in the list. So, instead, I made a class so I could
	// create the TestParameters object in queries, assign values
	// to named properties, and when I need them in a list of
	// object[] for NUnit, I just convert each one by calling it's
	// ToObject() method.

	/// <summary>
	/// Structure of test parameters
