This assembly consists of three core parts:

\* It contains custom \*\*Assert Unit Test\*\* activity that must be used when making \*\*Unit Tests\*\*.

\* \*\*Assert Unit Test\*\* activity is used as a container for writing \*\*Assert methods\*\* ([imported](https://studio.uipath.com/docs/importing-new-namespaces) from \_CustomActivities.VariableComparer\_ namespace) which are used to evaluate unit test outputs.

\* Assert.AreEqual(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the compared variables contain the exact same values.

\* Assert.AreNotEqual(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the compared variables doesn't contain the exact same values.

\* Assert.AreSame(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the compared variables reference the same object in memory.

\* Assert.AreNotSame(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the compared variables doesn't reference the same object in memory.

\* Assert.Contains(item, target) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the item is contained inside of the target object.

\* Assert.NotContains(expected,actual) - contains method overloads that are used to check if the item is not contained inside of the target object.

\* Assert.IsNull(actual) - checks if variable is referencing null object

\* Assert.IsNotNull(actual) - checks if variable is not referencing null object

\* \*\*Assert methods\*\* throw custom exceptions that are used by the \*\*Framework\*\* to log test results and give important information in case of a test failiure.

\* AssertException is main exception thrown by Assert methods.

\* AssertNullException is exception thrown when Assert.IsNull or Assert.IsNotNull method returns false.

\* CustomAssertException is generic exception that is thrown when random boolean expression that returns false is passed to Assert Unit Test activity

  

**Quick guide:**

\* Install this package using \[[Package manager](https://studio.uipath.com/docs/managing-activities-packages#section-managing-packages)\]

\* \[[Import](https://studio.uipath.com/docs/importing-new-namespaces)\] \_CustomActivities.VariableComparer\_ namespace in your workflow

\* In Activities side-bar search for Assert Unit Test activity

\* Use Assert Unit Test activity to write any of the above Assert methods (e.g. Assert.AreEqual(var1,var2))

Custom activity for comparing variables to be used with UiPath Testing Framework
