NUnit Runner for Visual Studio 2008 and 2010
Published on July 28th, 2010.
Many developers are using TestDriven.net as a test runner. I have also tried it – it’s great! However, it is free only for personal usage. For professional usage, you need to buy a licence. There are many alternatives to running tests. My favorite test framework is NUnit. For running NUnit tests, one may use its GUI tool.

- Easy and fast NUnit test execution
- Easy test debugging
- NET 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 support
- Test execution progress, time and summary
- Stack trace view
- Test filtering based on project, namespace and fixture
