If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This A Basic Introduction of how to write Unit Test for Beginners in C#[^]
The (verbal) styles used are inconsistent. I can't find a single source for all of the article but there are certain phrases that have been lifted directly from other works:
"with a side effect of ensuring that your source code is thoroughly tested at a confirmatory level" and "The implication is that the faster your compiler and regression test suite, the more attractive it is to proceed in smaller and smaller steps" - Introduction to Test Driven Development (TDD)[^]
"The method must be decorated with the [TestMethod] attribute." (and others) - Walkthrough: Creating and Running Unit Tests for Managed Code[^]
"Unit testing may reduce uncertainty in the units themselves and can be used in a bottom-up testing style approach" (and others) - Introduction to Software Engineering/Testing/Unit Tests - Wikibooks, open books for an open world[^]

Am I being too picky? None of the "sources" are credited

Not too picky at all: your first link / sentence shows the whole paragraph copied.
Plagiarised, and "troll/abusive".

I sampled a dozen random sentences. Each one comes, verbatim, from a different source. Definitely plagiarized.

@Sean-Ewington you might want to have some words with him. Due to "age" and reputation, I strongly think he is going to complain / beg for his account.

This: How to use Wix setup tools set create small installer and insert data from wizard - CodeProject[^]

From this: Member 12883591 - Professional Profile[^]
Is copied from the "official" documentation: Windows Installer XML (WiX)[^]
Search both for "WiX supports a broad spectrum of Windows Installer features. In addition, WiX also offers a set of built-in custom actions that can be used and incorporated in Windows Installer packages." and you'll see what I mean.

Comerical products are not allowed to be the subject of an article, as far as I recognize.

How one has to handle the above?
