I've become a believer in test-driven development, at least the part where you write the tests the code should pass _before_ you write the code itself. NUnit was a great tool for this -- and I loved seeing the green bar when all the tests pass.
Recently my team switched over to using VisualStudio Team System and converted our NUnit projects to VSTS test projects. As much as I like using NUnit, I like using VSTS even more:
- It's very easy to debug a test -- just set a breakpoint (no more Debug, Attach to Process…)
- It's easy to re-run only the failing tests
- Tests are run on multiple threads -- which sometimes speeds up the process considerably
We've also replaced NCover with the integrated code coverage; there's nothing like editing the highlighted code.
