Automated tests

Would be great to add some automated tests to the project, for example, spinning up an SSH server and then using SSH.NET as a client to interact with it.

I also like to have automated testing. Except SSH.NET, what other SSH clients are available for us to choose? We need to use an authoritative client as the test judge.

Of course, in order to facilitate testing, we prefer the C# client. If there is no better choice, we can also consider the C client.

SSH.NET is surely the most mature and popular one - I believe it's been around since 2010. AFAIK, the only other C# clients are commercial.

I've personally been using SSH.NET for years, and have found it to be reliable for connecting to a wide range of SSH-enabled devices - Linux boxes, Cisco switches, Palo Alto routers, whatever. I think we can consider SSH.NET as an authoritative client.
