Visual Studio 2008内置单元测试框架的优点/变化:

The 2008 version now is available in professional editions (before it required expensive versions of Visual Studio, and this is just for developer unit testing) that left a lot of developers with the only choice of open/external testing frameworks. Built-in API supported by a single company. Use the same tools to to run and create tests (you may run them using the command line also MSTest). Simple design (granted without a mock framework, but this is a great starting point for many programmers). Long term support granted (I still remember what happened to NDoc, and I don't want to commit to a testing framework that might not be supported in five years, but I still consider NUnit a great framework). If using Team Foundation Server as your backend, you can create work items or bugs with the failed test data in a simple fashion.

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。

MSTest is essentially NUnit slightly reworked, with a few new features (such as assembly setup and teardown, not just fixture and test level), and missing some of the best bits (such as the new 2.4 constraint syntax). NUnit is more mature, and there is more support for it from other vendors; and of course since it's always been free (whereas MSTest only made it into the Professional version of Visual Studio 2008, and before that it was in way more expensive SKUs), and most ALT.NET projects use it.

话虽如此，还是有一些公司非常不愿意使用没有微软标签的东西，尤其是OSS代码。因此，拥有官方的微软测试框架可能是这些公司需要进行测试的动机;老实说，重要的是测试，而不是你使用什么工具(使用Tuomas Hietanen的代码，你几乎可以让你的测试框架可互换)。

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。

有点偏离主题，但如果你使用NUnit，我可以推荐使用ReSharper -它为Visual Studio UI添加了一些按钮，使它更容易在IDE中运行和调试测试。

这篇评论略显过时，但更详细地解释了这一点:

使用ReSharper作为TDD工具包的重要部分

我更喜欢使用MS的小测试框架，但现在我坚持使用NUnit。多发性硬化的问题通常是(对我来说)

必须维护的共享“测试”文件(无意义) 测试列表会与多个开发人员/ vcs产生冲突 糟糕的集成UI -令人困惑的设置，繁重的测试选择 没有好的外部流道

警告

如果我正在测试一个aspx站点，我肯定会使用MS的 如果我是独自开发，MS也可以 如果我的技能有限，不能配置NUnit:)

我发现编写我的测试并启动NUnitGUI或其他前端(testDriven的价格非常非常非常昂贵)要容易得多。使用命令行版本设置调试也非常简单。
