What Unit Testing software(s) do you guys use that works well with VS2005, SF and C#?



Any Pros and Cons?



Thanks!

We use the Team Foundation Unit Testing tools which, without any explanation, ties extremely well into Visual Studio and works very well!  Depending upon your needs this one tool may not be enough.  There are other tools to help with the testing of the UI portions such as how the end-user interfaces with the application and then how that information which is relayed back to the developer in a more accurate format.  In this case, Morae from Tech Smith (the creators of Snagit and Camtasia) have a tool specifically for this type of need (http://www.techsmith.com/morae.asp#).  There are other unit testing tools out there such as Parasoft, which I have not used but have heard good things.

So it really just comes down to your needs.  But you definitley cannot go wrong with Team Foundation.

Thanks Trent; Unfortunately I have the VS Professional and not the team version (didn't I needed it at the time). My intention for the testing is on the classes I'll be building. Seems like NUnit is very popular. I just wanted to see what others are using for class testing.



Thanks again for info!

Hi,

Check out also http://www.mbunit.com/. It does more compared to NUnit.

I've heard lost of good stuff about NUnit... and there are lots of articles that have been written about it.  (And it's free... unlike VS Team Suite...)  Looking at the link from Chan, the mb-unit is also free, and the documentation looks pretty good, but this is the first I have heard of it, so I can't really comment on it Smile

Thanks Chan and Ben;



NUnit and mbUnit are my two choices. I just need to spend some time and see which feels better.
