NUnit Integration With Visual Studio 2010

I just discovered the perfect tool for NUnit integration: Visual Nunit 2010

Here are the pros:
  • Open source, Apache License
  • GUI: I personally like it better than the official Nunit GUI
  • Visual Studio Integration: of course, this is the #1 reason I try it out, and I'm completely satisfied
  • Load config file without problem (Nunit project does not load config files correctly)
  • Debug: attach to Nunit or Nunit-agent is no longer needed, simply set breakpoints and click the red  arrow to start debug session
  • Easy drilldown of test cases
  • One click to execute any individual test cases
Cons? None so far.

MSDN Library is Gone in Visual Studio 2010

I consider this another major setback in Visual Studio 2010.

Visual Studio 2010 come with a help system that is the worst since Visual Studio 2002.

Pros:
  • web-based, can be views in IE, as well as FireFox;
  • Encourage the use of better search engines like Google?
Cons:
  • No auto-complete search box;
  • Search result is worse than Google;
  • Left pane only has three fixed positions, cannot be resized or hidder;
To compensate the lack of auto-complete, I have stopped using my local help system and starting to use Google as my MSDN document explorer which did an excellent job.
