Mastering ASP.NET Web API

The Post Created test

    [TestMethod] 
    public async Task ReturnCreatedForAPost() 
    { 
      // arrange  
      using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient()) 
      { 
        client.BaseAddress = new Uri(_baseUri); 
        //act  
        StoreModel storeModel = GreenStoreModel(); 
        HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync(          "stores", storeModel); 
               // assert 
        response.Should().NotBeNull(); 
        response.StatusCode.Should().Be(HttpStatusCode.Created); 
 
        // clean up 
        await DeleteStore(client, storeModel.Id); 
      } 
    } 

We use the standard HttpClient wrapping this in a using statement, so the client can be cleaned up when we exit the test. The common pattern here is used with the other actions as well.
