Open source alternative for TestDrive.net 'Visual Studio add in' for unit testing?

Question

I searched about this in SO and dint find a post on this. Since TestDriven.net is ONLY free for personal use, is there any other open source visual studio add in available for running NUnit test cases?

Thank you.

Answer 1

TestDriven.net is my #1 choice. It's free for open source developers. Get involved with OSS community.

You can use Gallio that works with most unit testing frameworks. Here are some links about integration of Gallio and VS.

• Link 1
• Link 2

If you are ReSharper user (R# is not free but must have for any .NET developer), you can easily run your test from VS using this great tool. Here is how.

But i cant use it in work place, right? That is why i'm looking for an alternative. I love TestDriven.net in my home :). – Copal

Answer 2

There's nothing in the Personal licence that means it can't be used on commercial projects. It's "personal" in that the license is bound to the person who downloaded it; for example, you're not allowed to download it once and install it on your co-workers machines.

I do suggest that professional developers purchase a license (or more reasonably persuade their employer to). There is however always the free option for budget-constrained users.

You can read more on my July, 2006 post here: http://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/archive/2006/07/10/EnterpriseAndProfessional.aspx

I hope that makes sense.

This may have changed, because the free "Personal Licence" is "A nominal licence for students, open source developers and trial users. It is not intended for use within a commercial environment, except for evaluation purposes.". See the licensing information here: testdriven.net/purchase_licenses.aspx – Plainlaid

Answer 3

The makers of NUnit provide a Visual Studio add-in that is free to use. Search for the "NUnit Test Adapter" in your Visual Studio Extension Manager.

There are several. One of them is mbUnit http://www.mbunit.com/

I guess it is a unit test framework. It is not a TEST RUNNER. I was asking for something like UnitRun by JetBrains(which is discontinued - jetbrains.com/unitrun) which helps us to run the tests right from Visual studio. – Copal

JetBrains discontinued it because a test runner is now part of resharper :( – Fabiano
