Adding NUnit to the options for ASP.NET MVC test framework

by

After a bunch of research and experimentation, I’ve found the answer. For the record, the current release of nUnit 2.5 Alpha does not seem to contain templates for test projects in Visual Studio 2008.

I can set breakpoints and start NUnit directly from Visual Studio 2010 with Debug -> Start New Instance (which I think is your goal). I set nunit.exe as the external program in project -> Properties -> Debugging … Read more
