TestGen.Net
Automatic NUnit test case generation!
-
Overview
TestGen.Net is derived from Edwinyeah's NUnitPartner.
Now is a open source project
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/testgennet.
As a programmer, I'm not who is willing to code repetitive routines, and when I was
doing unit testing with one of my .Net projects, I found that it really takes time and
is boring to write test cases again and again, and I started trying to find a handy tool to generate the test code for me, but finally I found that there is a lot
of such tools in the Java community, but none for .Net. This is why I developed TestGen.Net.
Even generating test cases from existing classes is not a TDD (Test Driven
Development) way, but it DOSE help with unit testing :-)
The NUnit test case generator is released to public domain and use for free, You are welcomed to send me feedbacks
with bugs reporting, enhancement suggestions, etc. All rights are reserved.

Known Issues
All the codes generated by TestGen.Net are internally generated by CodeDOM provider,
suppose there should be no error with generated code for all kinds of
languages. Anyway, I tested the generated C# code only.
-
To do
1. Add support for Delphi.Net. You know, I'm a Delphi developer under Win32 platform, even I
chose C# for .net.
2. Support other attributes supported by NUnit.
3. Try to find if there is anything TestGen.Net can do with other testing
framework, e.g. DotNetMock, etc.
4. Add syntax highlighting to on-screen output.
