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”。

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

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。

我已经使用NUnit两年了。一切都很好,但是我不得不说Visual Studio中的单元测试系统非常好,因为它在GUI中,可以更容易地对私有函数进行测试,而不必搞得乱七八糟。

此外,Visual Studio的单元测试允许你做覆盖和其他NUnit单独不能做的事情。

首先我想纠正一个错误的说法:你可以使用命令行在Visual Studio之外运行MSTest。尽管一些CI工具,如TeamCity,对NUnit有更好的支持(可能会随着MSTest变得更流行而改变)。

在我目前的项目中,我们两者都使用,唯一的大区别是,我们发现MSTest总是作为32位运行,而NUnit运行为32位或64位测试,这只在你的代码使用32/64位依赖的本机代码时才重要。

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。

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.
