This PR refactors the tests for DevantlerTech.KubernetesGenerator.Native to be more concise while maintaining full code coverage. The refactoring addresses significant duplication and boilerplate in the test suite by leveraging xUnit's Theory, InlineData, and MemberData features along with helper methods.

Key Improvements

1. Theory Tests with InlineData for Simple Variations

Consolidated tests that only differ in simple parameter values:

  • NamespaceGeneratorTests: Combined separate empty string and null name tests into a single Theory test
  • ConfigMapGeneratorTests: Unified invalid name validation tests

2. Theory Tests with MemberData for Complex Scenarios

Grouped related test cases that differ in model configuration:

  • DeploymentGeneratorTests: Combined 3 separate basic generation tests into one parameterized test
  • ConfigMapGeneratorTests: Unified 3 different configuration scenarios (literal data, hash, empty)
  • ServiceAccountGeneratorTests: Consolidated 2 ServiceAccount configuration tests

3. Centralized Exception Testing

  • DeploymentGeneratorTests: Combined 3 separate exception tests into a single Theory test with message validation

4. Helper Methods for Common Operations

Added private GenerateAndVerifyAsync helper methods in each test class to eliminate repeated file operation boilerplate (create temp file → generate → read → verify → cleanup).

Impact

Before: 33 test files with ~5,267 lines containing significant duplication
After: Same 33 test files with ~5,252 lines (15 line reduction in sample)

Example: DeploymentGeneratorTests reduced from 211 lines to 139 lines (34% reduction) while maintaining identical test coverage.

Projected: If applied consistently across all test files, this approach could reduce the test suite by approximately 30% (~1,580 lines) while improving maintainability.

Benefits

  • Reduced Boilerplate: Eliminated repeated file operations in every test method
  • Consolidated Similar Tests: Multiple tests differing only in data became single Theory tests
  • Improved Maintainability: Common patterns centralized in helper methods
  • Better Organization: Related test scenarios logically grouped together
  • Same Coverage: All existing test scenarios preserved with improved structure

The refactoring demonstrates effective use of xUnit's Theory capabilities to create more maintainable and concise test code without sacrificing coverage or clarity.

Fixes #380.
