c# - How to execute code as steps using a framework or built in functionality? -

i'm looking framework or built in way write elegant code easy maintain following.

this example:

in main method want 3 things:

1. buy cake
2. put icing on cake
3. serve cake

only once 3 actions complete consider operation success. if 1 particular action fails, want know failed.

to solve problem main method can end looking this:

public void isbirthdayasuccess() {    var birthdaymanager = new birthdaymanager();      try      {            var cake = birthdaymanager.buycake(price.cheap, quality.good, delivery.fast);            assert.istrue(cake.arrivedquick && cake.isgood && cake.isquick, "supplier didn't cake right");       }    catch      {           assert.fail("the birthday operation has failed on step 1 : buying cake failed");       }     try      {          birthdaymanager.cakes[0].puticingon("vanilla");          assert.istrue(birthdaymanager.cakes[0].isiced(), "icing cake didn't work");        }    catch      {          assert.fail("the birthday operation has failed on step 2 : putting icing on cake");      }     try      {          party.servecake(birthdaymanager.cakes[0]);          assert.istrue(birthdaymanager.cakes[0].isserved(), "cake couldn't served");        }    catch      {          assert.fail("the birthday operation has failed on step 3 : serving cake");      } }  

now in reality, "steps" here represented series of try/catch blocks in code, elsewhere across enterprise system. why looking framework can provide more consistent implementation of "steps" framework inside function.

i thinking of rolling own maybe else exists.

if rolled own end being this:

public void testmethod(int id) {    var test = new test(id);     teststeps     {       ["login application"]       teststep         {             test.logintoapplication();          }       assert, "you not logged in"         {             test.isloggedin();          }       failure         {             assert.fail("test failed on step " + testcontext.teststep.index);          }      }   

does framework exist?

edit: reuse, able iterate through "steps" collection , "step" items, meaning can use reporting in excel or other places.

edit 2: , "roll own" example designed replace semantics of try/catch , flow control, c# extendible?

take @ specflow: http://www.specflow.org/, great step-based test framework.
