Unit Test Driver
-
I wanted to pass along a plug for a product I bought several months ago, and that I'm very pleased with. I'm not related to the developer and don't have any financial interest in his product--I'm just a customer. The product is TestRunner, and the developer calls itself Mailframe. Their web address is http://mailframe.net/[^]. TestRunner is an NUnit UI that is fully integrated into VS.Net. Nothing remarkable about that. But the product has built-in code coverage analysis and basic code profiling. The code coverage is the reason I bought this package. It does a good job summarizing coverage in its UI, and showing detail in the VS IDE. The profiling shows at a glance which lines in covered code take the most time. So long as you get good code coverage, the profile data will give a pretty good idea where your code bottlenecks are. Mailframe sells the package for $49, which seems very reasonable to me, given the services provided by the software. Definitely worth a look if, like me, you have decided against VSTS but still need code coverage analysis and code profiling. David Veeneman www.veeneman.com

Does it do code coverage and profiling of code outside of the unit tests---meaning, can I just run the app and it will tell me what the coverage and performance is, or is it restricted to methods being tested?

Testdriven .NET[^] supports coverage in the new version and supports alternative unit testing frameworks. It's free too :) Ryan

Profiling applies to the code that is covered--code isn't profiled if it isn't tested. David Veeneman www.veeneman.com

Aaaah! That's new since the last time I looked. Another excellent alternative. Come to think of it, who's buying VSTS? Anyone know how well VSTS is selling? David Veeneman www.veeneman.com
