)

Parameters

  • expected
    Type: ICollection

    The first collection to compare. This is the collection the unit test expects.

  • actual
    Type: ICollection

    The second collection to compare. This is the collection the unit test produced.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
AssertFailedException

expected is not equal to actual.

Remarks

Two collections are equal if they have the same elements in the same order and quantity. Elements are equal if their values are equal, not if they refer to the same object. The values of elements are compared using Equals by default.
