Favorite .NET Unit Testing framework [closed]

Answer 1

1. xUnit - less ceremony, support for data driven testing and other extentions

Answer 2

MbUnit has compatible syntax with NUnit but has more features (especially data driven tests).

Answer 3

Gallio looks like it's going to be awesome once it gets more stable (currently alpha).

It's not just a test framework, but a test automation platform, so it will work with many existing test frameworks (MbUnit, NUnit, xUnit.net) yet be fully extensible, with a number of built-in additional features such as report generation in many formats and code analysis tools.

I've also heard that it will be able to

• output image streams, so for example WatiN test failures can be output as screenshots, so you can see what state the browser was in when the test failed.
• filter by namespace, so you can easily uncheck tests for an entire namespace before running them

Edit: It is indeed out of alpha now. We've tried it at our company and we really hated it. It was horrible to use and very slow. What a shame.

Answer 4

I used to use NUnit, but now I prefer the framework that comes with Visual Studio 2008, simply because it has tighter integration and is easier to set up to test private methods.

We also had problems with keeping the versions of NUnit synchronized with the rest of the team. It was a minor annoyance (go and upgrade, or fix the project references), but it went away with the switch.

Answer 5

MbUnit

I like the way it handles reports, and I'm looking forward to some of the upcoming features I've heard about, such as integration with JsUnit.

Answer 6

NUnit. We can use it on CC.
