Alternative xUnit GUI runner

xUnit offers so many attractive features compared to NUnit, but its GUI runner is so bad that it hurts to use it: there is no tree visualization, theoretical tests are represented by a single list entry, without remembering the last test run, etc. I was hoping that 2.0 would solve it, but it is still in alpha :( I'm on VS 2010, so I can’t try the new VS 2012 test conductor and look for alternatives. So what do you use to run xUnit tests?

Go to 2012/2013/2015. Fight if necessary. Its so much faster, and the xUnit runner is perfect (nit-picking on the UX, but bulletproof). Support for Runner CodeRush comes there, but puts money on updating VS.

Also look at the forum - they exclude the 2.0 GUI leader as part of the main offer .

Bottom line - GUI users should stop using the GUI if they are using VS and trying to connect to the plugin.

I use ReSharper to run my unit tests. It has a plugin that allows it to run xUnit tests as well .

The only problem with ReSharper is that it is a commercial product, but it costs money!

With VS2010 - you can try this, but there are limitations mentioned in my comments

A few limitations with this extension, but it covers necessary. I love it. xUnit devs use third-party contributors like TestDriven.NET/R # to run tests in VS. But if xUnit has an integrated VS2010, then many developers will start using XUnit. It also means the best Unit tests.

We use Gallio Icarus. It has a tree structure and you can choose the format of the test report. If you are still using VS2010, then it will work for you.

Unfortunately, it does not work with the latest version of VS2015. That's why Im in this post is looking for alternatives
