Unit testing is evolving

  • Article

Jim Newkirk (of nUnit fame and one of the Microsoft folks behind www.CodePlex.com ) has been blogging about unit testing in forever ( most recently: Why you should not use Setup and Teardown in NUnit ). 

Now, Jim and Brad Wilson are putting action to his words and codifying lessons learned over the years by developing xUnit.Net.  Check out Jim's intro to this new tool at "Announcing xUnit.net".

Personally, I'll try using the shipping version on my own personal projects.  At this point, it will probably not effect what I do at p&p.

Check it out and enjoy.

 

[Note: I added the testing flag since xUnit.NET claims to be extensible into an acceptance testing framework.  Not that I consider EDD testing.]
