NUnit support tools

Introduction

NUnit is one of the most popular tool for unit testing in .NET. And the most important thing is that it is used inside CatGlobe and now we are approaching Test-Driven-Development, this means that developers/testers must involve in using NUnit more and more.

In this page, I will introduce some small supporting tools that can add some value working with NUnit.

NCover and NCoverExplorer

NUnit does not provide a mean for checking code coverage, we have to use some third-party tools. The easiest and free tool is NCover. However, NCover just supports for exporting the code coverage result into xml file. Luckily we also have another free tool for exploring the coverage result - NCoverExplorer

Download the 2 tools from:
