You may have noticed that the WiX toolset test infrastructure is not
terribly well organized. The concepts of unit testing and TDD came long
well after the bulk of the code was writtten (I don't have a good excuse
for lack of integration tests <smile/>). There have been a few attempts to
create a comprehensive system but they didn't necessarily connect terribly
well.
Honestly, the Burn integrated tests a probably the best we have, which is
great since it's one of the more complicated beasties in the WiX toolset.
So, I'm looking at addressing the test problem.
There is no shortage of testing systems out there from MSTest to NAnt to
xUnit to "flavor of the month". I'm looking for opinions on the best test
infrastructure that you think would work for the WiX toolset (and why). The
internet is littered with comparisons of different testing technologies for
use against web sites... but we're not building a web site here. <smile/>
Before I toss my opinion in here what do you think?
