tip

You can suppress this inspection to ignore specific issues, change its severity level to make the issues less or more noticeable, or disable it altogether.

Starting from NUnit 3.x, the TestCaseSource or ValueSource attribute argument representing the name of the source must refer to the static field, property or method. For example:

public class MyTestClass
{
    [TestCaseSource("DivideCases")]
    public void DivideTest(int n, int d, int q)
    {
        Assert.AreEqual(q, n / d);
    }

    static object[] DivideCases =
    {
        new object[] { 12, 3, 4 },
        new object[] { 12, 2, 6 },
        new object[] { 12, 4, 3 }
    };
}
