NUnit

From Free net encyclopedia

NUnit is an open source unit testing framework for Microsoft .NET. It serves the same purpose as JUnit does in the Java world.

NUnit.Forms is an expansion to the core NUnit framework and is also open source. It specifically looks at expanding NUnit to be able to handle testing user interface elements in Windows Forms.

NUnit.ASP is an expansion to the core NUnit framework and is also open source. It specifically looks at expanding NUnit to be able to handle testing user interface elements in ASP.NET.

Example of an NUnit test fixture:

using NUnit.Framework;

[TestFixture]
public class WikipediaExampleOfNUnit
{
  [Test]
  public void TestMultiplication()
  {
    Assert.AreEqual(4, 2*2, "Multiplication");
  }
}

The NUnit framework discovers the method HelloWorld.TestMultiplication() automatically by reflection.
