Test Driven Development Studio - An environment for practicing Kent Beck style Test Driven Development.

Project Components

• Main: This repo, for work item tracking and discussions related to the project. Also for source code history.
• VS: Plugin for VS2013, VS2015
• VSCode: Plugin for VSCode. Work has just started, no ETA. Help needed!
• Common: Common Library for all components.
• Engine: Workflow coordinator.
• TestHost: Test host, runner and runtime.

Goals, Intentions, Guidelines

• Environment for practicing Kent Beck style TDD [F.I.R.S.T. Unit Tests, fast builds, No Mocks, Hexagonal architecture].
• Open source alternative to nCrunch.
• Eventually not just unit tests - but a collection of facilities that makes TDD a joy! e.g. TODO list, hotspot analysis, etc.

Features that currently work

• Supported on VS2013 & VS2015.
• Enable/Disable TDDStudio.
• Ability to ignore tests (e.g. long range/acceptance tests, using a setting in .sln.tddstud10.user)
• Multiple Unit Test Frameworks [nUnit v2/v3, xUnit v1/v2]
• Multiple Languages [C#/F#/VB]
• Run build/test cycle on every change to any file under the solution folder.
• Incrementalv0 - i.e. build/test happen only for projects that have changed.
• Show code coverage indicators next to each line [green => tests covering it have all passed, red => otherwise]
• nCrunch style status indicator at the bottom-right in VS Status Bar.
• Each coverage marker has a rich list of covering tests with (a) error message/stacktrace (b) option to debug test.

Demo

Wish list and stuff really far off into the future

• Other Unit Test Frameworks [VS' CppUnit]
• Languages [C++]
• Hosts [Atom/VSCode]
• Test List
• Automated change detection
