Null
ShouldBeNull and ShouldNotBeNull allow you to check whether a value is null.ShouldNotBeNull returns the non-null value if it succeeds so that further assertions can be chained. When used with a reference type, the returned value is the same reference annotated as non-null. Equivalently, when used on a System.Nullable<T> expression, the returned value is the unwrapped T value.ShouldBeNull
