TestDriven.Net 2.24: XCopy Deployable Test Runners
There is a new feature in TestDriven.Net 2.24 (and 3.0 Alpha) that should greatly simplify the deployment and versioning of test runner plug-ins. In previous versions it was important that a compatible test runner plug-in was installed for each test framework you use.
This was manageable if all of your projects used the same version of a test framework however it could quickly get out of hand if a project referenced a different framework version. Because it isn t always feasible to upgrade all test projects at the same time, teams could end up trapped using an old version of a test framework or with unit test projects that are difficult to run.
As of TesDriven.Net 2.24, it is now possible to include the test runner alongside its test framework assembly. The advantage of doing this, is your tests can be executed without any installer dependencies! For example, you could use any version of xUnit, MbUnit or NUnit and your teammates would be able to execute the tests without needing to worry about which version of xUnit or Gallio to install!
This feature is enabled using a file with a .tdnet extension, which lives in the same directory as your referenced test framework assembly (e.g. mbunit.dll , xunit.dll , nunit.framework.dll etc.). If you re using Gallio 3.1 or xUnit.net 1.5, you will find the required MbUnit.dll.tdnet or xunit.dll.tdnet file already exists. For earlier versions of Gallio, xUnit or MbUnit this feature can be enabled by crating a simple XML file.
For example, say you have a test project that uses MbUnit 2. This test framework was released long before .tdnet files existed. To make the MbUnit test runner xcopy deployable, you would need to create a MbUnit.Framework.dll.tdnet file and copy the contents of \Program Files\MbUnit\bin into version control.
The MbUnit.Framework.dll.tdnet looks like this:
<TestRunner>
<FriendlyName>MbUnit {0}.{1}.{2}</FriendlyName>
<AssemblyPath>MbUnit.AddIn.dll</AssemblyPath>
<TypeName>MbUnit.AddIn.MbUnitTestRunner</TypeName>
</TestRunner>
The MbUnit.Framework.dll.tdnet file should be placed alongside MbUnit.Framework.dll , MbUnit.AddIn.dll and the rest of MbUnit 2. Once you have referenced the MbUnit.Framework.dll assembly in this directory, you can uninstall MbUnit 2 and still use TestDriven.Net to execute your tests!
If you re using a version of xUnit.net prior to 1.5, the xunit.dll.tdnet file would look like this:
<TestRunner>
<FriendlyName>xUnit.net {0}.{1} build {3}</FriendlyName>
<AssemblyPath>xunit.runner.tdnet.dll</AssemblyPath>
<TypeName>Xunit.Runner.TdNet.TdNetRunner</TypeName>
</TestRunner>
If you need help making this work with any other test framework, please let me know and I d be happy to post the details here.
I hope you enjoy the simplified deployment and versioning of whatever test runner you use!
You can download TestDriven.Net 2.24 & 3.0 Alpha from here.

TestDriven.Net 3.0 Alpha Support for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2
For the best part of a week, I ve been battling with the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 extensibility model. I m happy to report that - finally - I ve managed to make it bend to my will. 
At this point I ve decided to fork TestDriven.Net 2.x and 3.x. Going forward, TestDriven.Net 3 will support Visual Studio 2010, 2008 & 2005. TestDriven.Net 2 will continue to support Visual Studio 2008, 2005 & 2003. They will be developed in parallel until the RTM versions of Visual Studio 2010 and TestDriven.Net 3.0 are released. I will then focus my energy on TestDriven.Net 3.x.
With TestDriven.Net 3.0 Alpha, you can expect the Visual Studio 2008 & 2005 support to be stable.
In order to support Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2, I ve needed to do a number of pretty gruesome workarounds. One of these workarounds involves repainting TestDriven.Net s command bar button icons each time Visual Studio starts (Beta 2 doesn t persist them). All previous versions of TestDriven.Net have activated themselves on demand rather than on startup (when Visual Studio loads). This meant installing TestDriven.Net had no impact on Visual Studio startup times.
If you re sensitive to Visual Studio startup times, it s still possible to make TestDriven.Net activate on demand in Visual Studio 2010. Simply uncheck the Startup box next to TestDriven.Net in the Add-in Manager . Be warned, however, that TestDriven.Net s command bar buttons pictures will appear blank until the first time they re used.
For the Test With > Coverage functionality to work with .NET 4.0, you ll need to install NCover 3.2 or higher (see here). You can also use Test With > Team Coverage if you re running Visual Studio 2010 Premium or higher.

TestDriven.Net 2.22 RTM - What s New?
I’m happy to report that TestDriven.NET 2.22 RTM has cleared the launch pad!
It has been a while since the previous RTM version, so here is a quick recap of what s new:
TestDriven.Net now includes the production release of NUnit 2.5. This is the recommended version of NUnit if you re using .NET 2.0 or above. To ensure maximum compatibility with .NET 1.x and legacy NUnit extensions, the last releases of NUnit 2.2 & 2.4 are also included.
(more here)
By default TestDriven.Net will execute test projects compiled for AnyCPU in a 64-bit process. There are however some test runners that must run inside a 32-bit process. If you are testing with NCover 1.5, Team Coverage, dotTrace or .NET 1.1 (MSBee), TestDriven.Net will automatically fall back to using a 32-bit process. To force your tests to always execute in a 32-bit process, you can specify Platform target: x86 in your test project s build properties.
F# is now a first class citizen inside TestDriven.Net. To enable stack traces on failed assertions, you must specify Other flags: –optimize+ notailcalls on your test project s build properties. For best results use NUnit 2.5, MbUnit 3.0 or xUnit 1.1 (which all support test attributes on static methods).
(more here)
A new TestDriven.Net options pane is available when using Visual Studio 2005 and above. This can be used to selectively include/exclude tests in specified categories, choose when to display trace/debug output and choose to use new test process for each test run (as a workaround for badly behaved tests).
(more here)
Previous beta versions of TestDriven.Net were compatible with the PDC 2008 release of VS 2010, but not the VS 2010 Beta1 release. To enable support for VS 2010 Beta1, you must do a Complete install and assign keyboard shortcuts to the TestDriven.Net commands you wish to use.
(more here)
TestDriven.Net now includes active support for Typemock Isolator. You can disable the Typemock Isolator add-in and leave TestDriven.Net to enable Isolator for test projects that require it. This can significantly improve performance when starting applications/web sites from Visual Studio and executing tests that don t require Isolator.
This version of TestDriven.Net has been tuned to work with NCover 1.5.8 (included with TD.Net) and the commercial NCover 2.x & 3.x versions. When you Test With > Coverage , the contents of NCoverExplorer will be automatically refreshed and only classes with debug symbols will appear in the tree view.
(more here)
You can download the latest version from here. If you re a professional software developer, perhaps your employer would be interested some Enterprise licenses. Feel free to point the appropriate person in your organization to the licensing & purchase page or contact us for a quote. 
I m now going to start working on the next version in earnest. You are welcome to contact me with any suggestions you have for a future release.
Thanks for your support, bug reports and interest!
