Unit Testing in all VS .NET 2005 Editions: +1
I had really spent any time using VSTS Beta 2 bits for Whidbey--sadly enough,
I just don't have the cycles lately. In putting about, however, I was really
enamored with the fact that the unit testing functionality in the IDE was even
more seamless than things like TestDriven.NET have made it. Unfortunately, I
installed the July CTP of the Professional edition and unit testing isn't
supported at all.
I recall a lot of testing functionality was VSTS-only from the original
pricing release flap, but I never really truly believe Microsoft was this silly.
Google this and that, and lo/behold, unit testing is
VSTS only. Pointless really, it will just create third-party market
opportunity and overall the community will probably end up with a less
functional/seamless way of sticking with nunit, but it won't cost an extra
couple grand.
Not much of a suprise, but whoever did the edition partitioning this way
doesn't really know much about development. It's some relation to creating a
product line where only certain editions have an interactive debugger.
