How can I test ASP.NET Core middleware effectively?

To test ASP.NET Core middleware, you can use the built-in testing framework along with the TestServer class.

What tools do I need to get started with testing?

You'll need the Microsoft.AspNetCore.TestHost package, and a testing framework like xUnit or NUnit.

Yes, keep your tests isolated, test both success and failure paths, and ensure you mock dependencies appropriately.
