Daok列出了Visual Studio 2008测试项目的所有优点。下面是NUnit的优点。

NUnit has a mocking framework. NUnit can be run outside of the IDE. This can be useful if you want to run tests on a non-Microsoft build server, like CruiseControl.NET. NUnit has more versions coming out than visual studio. You don't have to wait years for a new version. And you don't have to install a new version of the IDE to get new features. There are extensions being developed for NUnit, like row-tests, etc. Visual Studio tests take a long time to start up for some reason. This is better in Visual Studio 2008, but it is still too slow for my taste. Quickly running a test to see if you didn't break something can take too long. NUnit with something like Testdriven.Net to run tests from the IDE is actually much faster. Especially when running single tests. According to Kjetil Klaussen, this is caused by the Visual Studio testrunner. Running MSTest tests in TestDriven.Net makes MSTest performance comparable to NUnit.

单元测试框架实际上并不重要，因为你可以用单独的项目文件和条件编译转换测试类(就像这样，Visual Studio→NUnit):

 #if !NUNIT
  using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
 #else
  using NUnit.Framework;
  using TestClass = NUnit.Framework.TestFixtureAttribute;
  using TestMethod = NUnit.Framework.TestAttribute;
  using TestInitialize = NUnit.Framework.SetUpAttribute;
  using TestCleanup = NUnit.Framework.TearDownAttribute;
  using TestContext = System.String;
  using DeploymentItem = NUnit.Framework.DescriptionAttribute;
 #endif

TestDriven。Net插件很好，不是很贵…对于普通的Visual Studio 2008，你必须从你的测试类或测试列表中找到测试。TestDriven。Net中，您可以直接从正在测试的类中运行测试。毕竟，单元测试应该易于维护，并且离开发人员很近。

如果你正在考虑MSTest或NUnit，那么我建议你看看MbUnit。我的理由是

TestDriven.Net compatibility. Nothing beats have TestDriven.Net.ReRunWithDebugger bound to a keyboard combination. The Gallio framework. Gallio is a test runner like NUnit's. The only difference is it doesn't care if you wrote your tests in NUnit, MSTest, xUnit or MbUnit. They all get run. Compatibility with NUnit. All features in NUnit are supported by MbUnit. I think you don't even need to change your attributes (will have to check that), just your reference and usings. Collection asserts. MbUnit has more Assert cases, including the CollectionAssert class. Basically you no longer need to write your own tests to see if two collections are the same. Combinatorial tests. Wouldn't it be cool if you could supply two sets of data and get a test for all the combinations of data? It is in MbUnit.

我最初选择MbUnit是因为它的[RowTest ....我找不到一个回去的理由。我把我所有的活动测试套件从NUnit移过来，再也没有回头。从那时起，我已经将两个不同的开发团队转换为收益。

我从MSTest开始，但我因为一个简单的原因而改变了。MSTest不支持从其他程序集继承测试方法。

我讨厌多次编写相同的测试。特别是在一个大型项目中，测试方法可以很容易地运行到100个测试。

NUnit正是我所需要的。NUnit唯一缺少的是Visual Studio插件，它可以显示每个测试的红色/绿色状态(就像VSTS一样)。

据我所知，目前。net有四个可用的单元测试框架:

NUnit 运行工具 MSTest xUnit

NUnit一直处于领先地位，但在过去一年左右，这种差距已经缩小。我自己还是更喜欢NUnit，特别是他们不久前添加了一个流畅的界面，这使得测试非常易读。

如果您刚刚开始进行单元测试，这可能没有太大区别。一旦你跟上了进度，你就能更好地判断哪个框架最适合你的需求。

xUnit是新项目的另一种可能。它的语法可能更直观，但它与其他框架并不兼容。
