Best unit testing tools

[Tony Wright]

Hi all,

What are people using these days to unit test code dot net code, and if not
visual studio, why?

Regards Tony

Nunit, moq, and resharper runner. Ncrunch if your company will pay for it.

We're reviewing what to use for a new project and I'm leaning towards the
below:

Unit testing framework: xunit (2.0 was recently released)
Mocking: FakeItEasy

Also, take a look at AutoFixture.

See -

Perhaps start from the first post of that series -
https://lostechies.com/jimmybogard/2015/01/29/clean-tests-a-primer/

The author mentions Fixie, which is a fairly new testing framework -

BDD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior-driven_development
There is a BDD package for .Net as well.

Once you learn to write you test out of small bite-size pieces you'll love
it's power.
I hate unit tests. I think they are easy for simple code that is not worth
testing and too complicated to setup for really complicated code.
However once you learn BDD and figure out how to compose tests you can
actually start to test complex components instead of small bits of code.

+1 for Specflow

I like to use BDD through specflow for my automated acceptance tests of
major pieces of functionality. These are my integration tests - big, slow,
exercise the system from end to end to show that the pieces play nicely
with each other. I then move to microtests (often called unit tests) for
fleshing out the functionality of the pieces. This outside-in approach is
best exemplified in GOOS
.
The BDD approach *helps *ensure that the system does what it is supposed to
do and indicates when done is done. The microtests *support *the creation
of easy-to-use code that is SOLID, dependency-light and highly modifiable.
