NUnit vs. Visual Studio 2008’s test projects for unit testing [closed]

by

Daok named all the pro’s of Visual Studio 2008 test projects. Here are the pro’s of NUnit.

  • NUnit has a mocking framework.
  • NUnit can be run outside of the
    IDE. This can be useful if you want
    to run tests on a non-Microsoft build server,
    like CruiseControl.NET.
  • NUnit has more versions coming out
    than visual studio. You don’t have
    to wait years for a new version.
    And you don’t have to install a new version of the IDE to
    get new features.
  • There are extensions being developed
    for NUnit, like row-tests, etc.
  • Visual Studio tests take a long time
    to start up for some reason. This is
    better in Visual Studio 2008,
    but it is still too slow
    for my taste. Quickly running a test
    to see if you didn’t break something
    can take too long. NUnit with
    something like Testdriven.Net to run
    tests from the IDE is actually much
    faster. Especially when running
    single tests.
    According to Kjetil Klaussen, this is caused by the Visual Studio testrunner. Running MSTest tests in TestDriven.Net makes MSTest performance comparable to NUnit.
