Another free unit testing add-in for Visual Studio 2005

There are plenty of ways to run your NUnit tests while developing and during the build.  JetBrains has released a unit test running add-in for Visual Studio, and they are giving it away for free.  It's called UnitRun.  The screenshot to the right shows how you can execute a test from the margin.  I like to map CTRL+T as my shortcut to run a test.

 

 

 

You can also run all of the tests in your solution with a larger window.  (above)  This isn't a new release.  It's been out for some time, but I'd never mentioned it.  I use unit run.  It's actually a feature of the larger Resharper package.

Other notable unit test runners are:

That's funny because I've just started to use the ReSharper runner together with TD.Net.  When I'm doing large scale refactorings that could break tests, I like to run everything with the ReSharper runner so I can keep the initial record, then fix and run one by one with TD.Net.

I tried it awhile ago and it wouldn't work with MSFT test framework.  Has this changed, do you know?

It supports csUnit and NUnit only. ExactMagic supports NUnit, MSTest runs in its own runner. TD.NET is the only tool from the list to support all these framworks and further more is the only tool to also support MbUnit.

We've recently released the 2.0 version of TestMatrix with a lot of new feature, including support for frameworks other than NUnit. We've also made a free product (StudioTools) that includes all the handy navigation tools.
