Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Using NUnit is easy enough, but how do you learn to do Test Driven Development?

A: A very good way is to do pair programming with someone who already does TDD. If that is not possible, then there are several good books on the subject, such as Kent Beck's “Test Driven Development: By Example”, and many others. You might also consider joining one of the mailing lists on the subject, a very good one at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/testdrivendevelopment/

Q: XXX works correctly in NUnit, but does not function from the test runner in Resharper, what's going on?

A: The good folks at JetBrains, who author Resharper have reimplemented the functionality of NUnit within their product. The functionality in Resharper's test runner therefore typically lags NUnit's main development branch by a version or two.

Q: How can I manage my working copy of NUnit?

A: See working_copy

Q: How run the tests once you've built in your local copy?
