xUnit.net released

September 22, 2007 22:14 by Jens
James Newkirk released a new unit-testing framework called xUnit.net. While I have a lot og respect for the the developers James and Brad, I can't see the real motivation for building another .NET testing framework.

Here is a list of the included features:
  • Single Object instance per Test Method
  • No [SetUp] or [TearDown]
  • No [ExpectedException]
  • Aspect-Like Functionality
  • Reducing the Number of Custom Attributes
  • Use of Generics
  • Anonymous Delegates
  • Assert extensibility
  • Test method extensibility
  • Test class extensibility
I recently switched from NUnit to mbUnit in my projects. It turned out to be a non-event and I'm pretty happy with mbUnit and the additional features it provides. Anyway, I can't see any reasons to switch to another testing framework.
