Author Test Agent Skill
Generate a test given sample. Parameters: <cs_root> C# SDK repository root; <package_name> Package name: one of Azure.AI.Projects, Azure.AI.Projects.Agents or Azure.AI.Extensions.OpenAI; <sample_name> the sample to use as a starting point for the test.

2 sections, as written by the authorBasic information.
This skill requires C# repository root (<cs_root>), package name (<package_name>), and sample file name as an input (<sample_name>). The samples are located in the <cs_root>/sdk/ai/<package_name>/tests/Samples directory, the test files are in <cs_root>/sdk/ai/<package_name>/tests. The tests are organized according to scenarios tested. The files, having suffix Base contains the required utility functions needed for testing.
Task
Look at the sample and generate the test code in the appropriate test file. The test must have the next structure:
[RecordedTest]
// Test cases if any [TestCase(true)]
public async Task TestFeatureName(){
var result = await CallFeatureAsync();
Assert.That(result.Value, Is.Equal.To("Expected feature value"))
}
Always use the async methods (with Async suffix) if possible. Keep the test short and representative.
To make sure that the test is running as expected, build the project.
cd <cs_root>
dotnet build
cd <cs_root>
dotnet build
If the project does not build, iterate on the error.
