Unit Testing

[Tim Haughton]

The upcoming version of Visual Studio has in built testing functionality, or
so I read. Does anyone know if this is support for the industry standard
unit testing framework (NUnit) or has the NIH bug bitten our friends at
Microsoft again??

Cheers,

At the time of this writing (;->), I have not seen the completed test suite
(partially implemented in a Community Tech Preview, but missing from beta
1), so which particular direction is largely conjecture. I do know that
NUnit source can easily be dinked with to play around with 2.0 assemblies
(tres cool), so I am not overly concerned either way MS decides to go.

I am not sure about "industry standard" as the #Unit test suite is more an
"ex post facto" type of standard, but I agree that it is in wide use and
should be considered for unit testing tools.
