I have created a custom ActionFilterAttribute named ThrottleFilter. It has the scope of preventing the user of making too many requests at the same time ( No more than 4 calls can be run for a specific action in a span of 10 seconds). I use it to decorate some specific actions in the controller.

It works fine, but my dilemma is : how could I write a test for it? (I have not added code as it's not a a few lines and I guess the solution is more general - but I can provide it if necessary);

There is an answer here for Asp.Net Core which might be similar but things have changed between the version you are using and now https://stackoverflow.com/a/46163116/5233410 – Nkosi Mar 31 '20 at 12:06
@Nkosi With the use of that and other responses I have been able to test it. Thank you. – Daniel Apr 01 '20 at 10:36
