Questions tagged [semantic-comparison]

SemanticComparison is a library for comparing objects for semantic equality.

SemanticComparison is a library for comparing objects for semantic equality. Object can be compared to other object, with equality rules based on the contents of the objects, rather than the place in memory they occupy, or their implementations of the Equals method.

This is useful in unit testing, and has historically been a companion project to AutoFixture.

Trouble using Autofixture's CreateProxy to use Likeness, SemanticComparison features

In an earlier question I asked about Autofixture's CreateProxy method, a potential bug was identified. I don't think this failing test is as a result of that, but rather my continued confusion about how the Likeness.Without(...).CreateProxy()…
