AAA Testing Snippet

This is a snippet I use quite often and send around.

It simply a framework for getting people to organise there unit tests around the AAA principal of Arrange, Act and Assert.

What does it do? Well not much really, it’s just a useful construct I find that helps split up a unit test, it’s a snippet for MSTEST but can quite easly be turned into an xUnit or NUnit snippet by changing the [TextMethod] mark up.
