Combinatorial Attribute - jnm2/nunit-docs-wiki GitHub Wiki

The CombinatorialAttribute is used on a test to specify that NUnit should generate test cases for all possible combinations of the individual data items provided for the parameters of a test. Since this is the default, use of this attribute is optional.

The following test will be executed six times:

[Test, Combinatorial]
public void MyTest(
    [Values(1, 2, 3)] int x,
    [Values("A", "B")] string s)
{
    ...
}

MyTest is called six times, as follows:

MyTest(1, "A")
MyTest(1, "B")
MyTest(2, "A")
MyTest(2, "B")
MyTest(3, "A")
MyTest(3, "B")

When used on a generic method the programmer must ensure that all possible combinations of arguments are valid. When multiple parameters use the same generic type (e.g.: T) this may not be possible and the attribute may generate invalid test cases.
