NUnit 2.2.4 is available for download and the first version to support .NET 2.0 Framework and Visual Studio 2005.
If you are into unit testing and test-driven development, NUnit is an excellent test framework for your Visual Studio 2005 applications. Some of the highlights of NUnit for the .NET 2.0 Framework:
- NUnit 2.2.4 runs under .Net 2.0 and works with VS2005. If you work exclusively with .Net 2.0, you can download a version that is actually built with that framework version, which eliminates dealing with the config file.
- You can run tests built against older versions - 2.0 or later - of NUnit without recompiling. As a bonus, you can run tests built against CSUnit without recompiling.
- A number of new Asserts and Attributes have been added. It is now much easier to create your own custom Asserts while still taking advantage of NUnit's built-in error message formatting.
- An extensibility mechanism allows you to define your own attributes for test fixtures and cases that behave in non-standard ways.
- Documentation is substantially improved and is provided as a set of html files. The packaged documentation includes only version-specific details, with info that may change over time, such as contacts, kept on the web site.
