Zanebug is an advanced unit testing application for .NET.

It supports existing NUnit tests, performance metrics, multiple test iterations, in-depth error information, pass / fail stats, perfmon integration, result graphing, etc.

• Zanebug introduces the Repeat attribute for methods, its works in this way:
• In NUnit you have Setup, and TearDown attributes, that do initialization and termination code for the TestFixture. A nice feature of Zanebug is Method specific setups and teardowns:
• The graphical user interface of Zanebug is more friendly and has more information than NUnit.

JetBrains, a provider of productivity-enhancing development tools, introduced dotCover, a new code-coverage tool for .NET developers, and dotTrace 4 Performance, a reworked version of its .NET profiling tool.

According to sdtimes.com the tool extends Microsoft Visual Studio and its .NET productivity offerings,

dotCover, an extension to Visual Studio, highlights code that was not covered during a unit test and detects which unit tests covered a particular area in the code. This helps .NET developers ensure that every line that should be covered in a unit test is covered, according to the Prague-based company. The tool also aggregates data from multiple coverage sessions, merges collected snapshots and generates XML-based code-coverage reports.

Working within Visual Studio 2005, 2008 or 2010, dotCover analyzes statement-level code coverage in .NET Framework and Silverlight applications, and it integrates with JetBrains’ ReSharper unit testing tool set.

dotCover also provides a console utility, enabling users to use it with a continuous integration server.

“We felt it would be fitting to give .NET developers a tool to help them see how successful they are in their unit-testing practices,” said Oleg Stepanov, .NET division project lead for JetBrains. “[dotCover enables] developers to instantly see any lapses in code coverage, and at the same time integrate into corporate development and reporting workflow,” he added.

In addition to dotCover, dotTrace 4 Performance is an upgrade from JetBrains’ .NET profiler offering. After being an all-in-one memory and performance profiler, dotTrace splits into two products, the company said. dotTrace 4 Performance is the .NET performance tool and will be followed by the introduction of dotTrace 4 Memory in several months.

This reworked tool helps .NET developers get accurate information on performance bottlenecks in a variety of .NET applications, including those built on .NET Framework 4, .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and Silverlight 4.

With dotTrace 4, users can profile complex desktop and server applications as well as remote applications. They can also assess how removing a particular bottleneck would affect the overall application performance, the company said.

dotCover is offered now until Jan. 1, 2011, at an introductory price of US$49 per personal license or $99 per commercial license. All licenses include one year of free upgrades and technical support.

dotTrace 4 Performance comes in Standard and Professional editions. Commercial pricing starts at $399. Users can also purchase a bundle of dotTrace 4 Performance and dotTrace 3.5 Memory, a memory profiler with support for the latest .NET Framework, at a discounted price. Those with licenses purchased on or after Dec. 17, 2008, can be upgraded to dotTrace 4 free of charge.

NMock is a dynamic mock object library for .NET. Mock objects make it easier to test single components—often single classes—without relying on real implementations of all of the other components. This means we can test just one class, rather than a whole tree of objects, and can pinpoint bugs much more clearly. Mock objects are often used during Test Driven Development.

NMock 2.0 Release Candidate 2 is now available! The original NMock was a .NET port of the Java-based DynaMock, whereas NMock 2.0 is inspired by the newer jMock library. Expectations are defined using a much more “conversational” style, including plenty of syntactic sugar to improve clarity.

A dynamic mock object: * takes on the interface of another object, allowing it to be substituted for a real one for testing purposes.
* allows expectations to be defined, specifying how the class under test is expected to interact with the mock.
* fails the test if any of the expectations are violated.
* can also act as a stub, allowing the test to specify objects to be returned from mocked methods.

Features specific to NMock: * expectations are specified beforehand and verified on the fly as the code under test is being executed, rather than afterwards using assertions. This has the advantage that mocks fail fast, allowing you to easily pinpoint the exact point the test failed, using a stack trace or debugger.
* mock implementations of interfaces are generated on the fly at runtime, which avoids having to add a code generation step to the build.
* error messages clearly show the reason for the failure.
* flexible expectations can be built up using the constraint library.

The best way to see how NMock works is to read the Quickstart (5 minutes) or the Tutorial (15 minutes). Developers who already have experience with mock objects will find everything they need to know on the Cheat Sheet.

Visual Studio Team System Test Edition includes a suite of test tools that are integrated closely with Visual Studio, they work not only in their own testing framework, but also within a larger framework of software life cycle tools.
Test Edition lets you create, manage, edit, and run tests, and also obtain and store test results.

Several test types, including unit, Web, load, and manual tests, are integrated into Visual Studio. In addition, the measurement of code coverage is included. To learn more about the different available test types..You run tests by using the Visual Studio IDE. Additionally, you can run groups of tests or any single test other than the manual test type from a command line. Because the testing tools are integrated with the other parts of the Visual Studio Team System, you can publish results to a database, generate trend and historical reports, compare different kinds of data, and see how many and which bugs were found because of testing.

NDoc generates class library documentation from .NET assemblies and the XML documentation files generated by the C# compiler (or with an add-on tool for VB.NET).

NDoc Extensibility

Both the MSDN and VS.NET documenters support an extensibility model that allows you to define your own tags and control where and how they appear in the documentation. NDoc relies heavily on XSLT to generate documentation and the extensibility model is based on XSLT as well.

The first step is to add your custom tag to the code comments in your C# files, heres a example:
