Test Lint (Beta): Find common problems in your unit test code

http://site.typemock.com/test-lint/

I think it can be interesting for developers who use C# and VS2010:

Writing unit tests is easy. Writing good unit tests – that are readable, maintainable and trust-worthy is a bit harder if you’ve never done it before. So we took Roy Osherove (author of The Art of Unit Testing) and asked him to write down, based on his massive experience with unit testing, common problems that people do when they first start unit testing. Then we put that knowledge inside a Visual Studio 2010 extension– it’s like having your own personal coach letting you know of problems as you type them, really.

Test Lint parses your code as you type it, and looks for common problems in your unit test code – from missing asserts to having tests depend on other tests – Test Lint will notify you on the spot about each possible issue with a visible queue right inside your editor, right next to the link where the issue appears.

Test Lint will detect issues in tests written with:

  • Microsoft Test Framework
  • NUnit
  • MbUnit
  • XUnit.NET
  • CsUnit
