Adoption guide

API and MVC apps that need realistic middleware, routing and dependency injection coverage without external process orchestration.

Integration Testing guide

Why it appears in the guide: Bootstraps ASP.NET Core applications in tests via TestServer/WebApplicationFactory for high-fidelity HTTP integration tests. Trade-off: External dependencies still need explicit test doubles or infrastructure provisioning to avoid false confidence.

Compatibility metadata lists 1 target framework; confirm the exact target used by your application.

How to read this guidance

Sources: published NuGet v3 registry metadata and explicit NuBrowse editorial guides. Refresh: package metadata is refreshed from NuGet when the page loads. Limit: this is not a security, legal or compatibility guarantee; validate the selected version in your project.
