Question

Visual studio has a built-in unit test framework. I am wondering if I can use nunit instead?

Answer 2

Using NUnit without extensions

This answer is long overdue, but I'm using NUnit in Visual Studio without any additional extensions (that are mainly also not free).

The whole idea is to configure your test project (a usual Class library project actually) so that when you hit F5 or Ctrl-F5 it automatically starts NUnit GUI and starts test execution.

The main benefit of this project configuration (all configuration steps are described with images) is that it's easy to also debug your tests if you need to when you have bugs in them.
