[QUERY] Reference existing tools that can be used to test code depending on Azure SDK in docs

Azure.Storage.Blobs, Azure.Data.Tables, Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus, Azure.Messaging.EventHubs, Azure.Security.KeyVault

Query/Question

The Unit testing and mocking with the Azure SDK for .NET guideline provides useful information on how to mock Azure SDK clients and integrate them into various unit testing frameworks.

However, I believe it would be beneficial to also reference existing tools that simplify testing code that depends on Azure SDK clients. Some useful tools include:

• Azurite (Blobs, Tables)
• Service Bus Emulator (Service Bus)
• In-Memory Azure Test SDK (Blobs, Tables, Service Bus, Event Hubs, Key Vault Secrets)

Disclaimer: I am one of the maintainers of the In-Memory Azure Test SDK library, but I genuinely believe this addition would be valuable for Azure SDK users.

I would love some documentation or tooling to help mock the Azure AI Vision ImageAnalysisClient because the below is just ridiculous;

var aiResult = AIVisionImageAnalysisModelFactory.ImageAnalysisResult(null, null, null, null, null, null, 
            AIVisionImageAnalysisModelFactory.ReadResult(new[] { 
                AIVisionImageAnalysisModelFactory.DetectedTextBlock(new[] { 
                    AIVisionImageAnalysisModelFactory.DetectedTextLine("test", new[] { 
                        AIVisionImageAnalysisModelFactory.ImagePoint(0, 0)}, new[] { 
                            AIVisionImageAnalysisModelFactory.DetectedTextWord("test", new[] { 
                                AIVisionImageAnalysisModelFactory.ImagePoint(0, 0)}, 1)})})}), null, null);

I really dislike this pattern of internal constructors on all the models and static create methods instead, it really overcomplicates everything.

@scottaddie : Would you please offer your thoughts on the proposal being made?

@mbrdev: Since your request is specific to the Azure AI Vision library, it would be more appropriate for a local sample than a general article. I'd encourage you to open a separate issue so that we can bring this to the attention of the team that owns the Vision library for consideration.
