Using anonymous type

When validating multiple instances, an anonymous type can be used for verification

xUnit

[Fact]
public async Task Anon()
{
    var person1 = new Person
    {
        GivenNames = "John",
        FamilyName = "Smith"
    };
    var person2 = new Person
    {
        GivenNames = "Marianne",
        FamilyName = "Aguirre"
    };

    await Verify(
        new
        {
            person1,
            person2
        });
}

^{snippet source | anchor}

NUnit

[Test]
public async Task Anon()
{
    var person1 = new Person
    {
        GivenNames = "John",
        FamilyName = "Smith"
    };
    var person2 = new Person
    {
        GivenNames = "Marianne",
        FamilyName = "Aguirre"
    };

    await Verifier.Verify(
        new
        {
            person1,
            person2
        });
}

^{snippet source | anchor}

MSTest

[TestMethod]
public async Task Anon()
{
    var person1 = new Person
    {
        GivenNames = "John",
        FamilyName = "Smith"
    };
    var person2 = new Person
    {
        GivenNames = "Marianne",
        FamilyName = "Aguirre"
    };

    await Verify(
        new
        {
            person1,
            person2
        });
}

^{snippet source | anchor}

Results

Results in the following:

{
  person1: {
    GivenNames: 'John',
    FamilyName: 'Smith'
  },
  person2: {
    GivenNames: 'Marianne',
    FamilyName: 'Aguirre'
  }
}
