Should vs2008 built-in utilities be used for unit testing?

Question

I want to start writing unit tests for my project, what additions, if necessary, install, what features can I get by default?

Answer 1

I highly recommend NUnit even in Visual Studio built-in tests.

Here are some more links:

NUnit vs MSTest

NUnit vs Visual Studio 2008 Testing Projects for Unit Testing

NUnit vs MbUnit vs MSTest vs xUnit.net

More importantly, manage your expectations and understand where these tests make sense and where not. This will help you avoid disappointment as you get started. A search for unit testing and / or TDD will give you plenty of food for thought.

Answer 2

To get started, use the built-in MsTest and grab the mock structure ( Moq to do the trick).

Answer 3

I will also be the second nunit.

For me it was not a choice. Right now I received a copy of VS2008 for free from my school, but I plan to start creating applications that will be considered commercial, so I will have to buy a copy of VS2008 Pro or higher.

So, I will use VS2008 express, which will not receive unit testing, so for me I rather stick to nunit, which is very good and saves hundreds of dollars, without having to buy Pro, since most of the features in Pro I will probably never use.

Plus many book testing units that I have seen, all use nunit.
