我将在工作中开始一个新项目,并想进入单元测试。我们将使用Visual Studio 2008, c#和ASP。NET MVC之类的东西。我正在考虑使用NUnit或Visual Studio 2008的内置测试项目,但我也愿意研究其他建议。是一种系统比另一种更好,还是比另一种更容易使用/理解?

我希望让这个项目成为我们未来发展努力的“最佳实践”。

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。

我用这两种方法做过一些TDD,(也许我有点笨)NUnit对我来说似乎更快更简单。我说的很多,就是很多。

在MSTest中,到处都有太多的属性——真正进行测试的代码就是你可能在这里或那里读到的那些小行。一片混乱。在NUnit中,执行测试的代码只是控制属性,就像它应该做的那样。

同样,在NUnit中,你只需要点击你想要运行的测试(只有一个?一个班的所有测试?一个装配?解决方案?)一个点击。窗户又大又亮。你可以看到清晰的绿灯和红灯。你真了解一眼就能看到什么。

在VSTS中,测试列表卡在屏幕的底部,它又小又丑。你得仔细看看才能知道发生了什么事。而且您不能只运行一个测试(好吧,我还没有发现!)。

当然,我可能是错的——我刚刚读了21篇关于“如何使用VSTS做简单的TDD”的博文。我应该多读些书;你说得对。

在《NUnit》中,我读了一本。同一天我也去了tdd。与乐趣。

顺便说一下,我通常很喜欢微软的产品。Visual Studio确实是开发人员能买到的最好的工具——但是Visual Studio Team System中的TDD和工作项管理真的很糟糕。

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。

Visual Studio测试框架的一个小麻烦是,它会创建许多测试运行文件,这些文件往往会使您的项目目录变得混乱——尽管这并不是什么大问题。

另外,如果你缺少一个像TestDriven这样的插件。NET,你不能在Visual Studio环境中调试你的NUnit(或MbUnit, xUnit等)单元测试,而你可以在Microsoft Visual Studio测试框架中进行,这是内置的。

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.

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.
