NUnit vs Visual Studio 2010’s MSTest?
List item speed is same, but MsTest may be a bit slower because it creates folder for test run every time MSBuid and CC.Net is big pain. You can’t run MSTest on computer without VS on it (not 100 sure about 2010, but with 2008 it is so) not sure, sorry yes you can, from … Read more

Are multiple asserts bad in a unit test? Even if chaining?
As others have pointed out, it’s best to stick with one assert in each test in order to avoid losing information – if the first assert fails, you don’t know whether the later ones would fail also. You have to fix the problem with less information – which might (probably will) be harder. A very … Read more
Explicitly call static constructor
As I found out today, the static constructor CAN be called directly: from another Stackoverflow post The other answers are excellent, but if you need to force a class constructor to run without having a reference to the type (ie. reflection), you can use: Type type = …; System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers.RunClassConstructor(type.TypeHandle); I had to add this code … Read more
