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。

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。

随着。net 4.0中代码契约系统的发布和静态检查器的可用性，理论上你将需要编写更少的测试用例，而像Pex这样的工具将有助于识别这些用例。将这一点与前面的讨论联系起来，如果您需要更少地使用单元测试，因为您的契约会覆盖您的尾部，那么为什么不直接使用内置组件呢，因为这样可以少管理一个依赖项。这些天来，我只追求简单。: -)

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.

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.

我收到消息说“NUnit文件结构比VSTest更丰富”… 当然，如果你更喜欢NUnit的文件结构，你可以使用这个解决方案的另一种方式，像这样(NUnit→Visual Studio):

 #if !MSTEST
     using NUnit.Framework;
 #else
     using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
     using TestFixture = Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestClassAttribute;
     using Test = Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestMethodAttribute;
     using SetUp = Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestInitializeAttribute;
     using TearDown = Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestCleanupAttribute;
 #endif

或任何其他转换…:-)这里的用法只是编译器的别名。
