Testing Agentic AI in .NET: skUnit for IChatClient, Agents, and MCP
Time to be confirmed · Microsoft South Africa, Johannesburg
Abstract
Modern agentic AI systems rely on many moving parts, from IChatClient pipelines to Microsoft Agent Framework agents to MCP servers that expose external tools and capabilities. As these components interact, the need for reliable, deterministic testing becomes critical.
You need to ensure:
- Agents reason correctly and follow their execution loop
- Tools are discovered and invoked with the right parameters
- Responses stay semantically accurate across iterations
- Multi‑agent and multi‑server orchestration behaves predictably
This is exactly where skUnit excels, a robust .NET testing framework purpose‑built for agentic AI units, including IChatClient, Microsoft Agent Framework agents, and MCP integrations. Whether you're validating a single agent’s reasoning step or end‑to‑end orchestration across multiple tool surfaces, skUnit gives you production‑grade confidence in your AI systems.
