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.

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.

I hope that makes sense.

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.
