methods of testing

"Arrange, Act, Assert" is a pattern that is considered a fundamental element of writing software tests.

• The Arrange section of a unit test method initializes objects and sets the value of the data that is passed to the method under test.

• The Act section invokes the method under test with the arranged parameters.

• The Assert section verifies that the action of the method under test behaves as expected.
