Answer 1

I recommend you to have an own project for your tests (like Project.Tests).

Place the following basic files somewhere in folder of your project structure (e.g. lib\nunit\nunit):

• nunit.core.dll
• nunit.core.interfaces.dll
• nunit.framework.dll
• nunit.util.dll
• nunit-console.exe
• nunit-console.exe.config
• nunit-console-runner.dll
• nunit-console-x86.exe
• nunit-console-x86.exe.config

Then you need to reference the NUnit.Framework assembly in your Project.Tests project.

For example, a simple test would look like this:

using NUnit.Framework;

namespace Project.Tests
{
    [TestFixture]
    public class MyTestClass
    {
        [Test]
        public void MyTestMethod()
        {
            var a = "a";
            var b = "a";
            Assert.AreEqual(a, b);
        }
    }
}

You can run this test then for example with the NUnit-console or directly in VisualStudio (e.g. with the help of ReSharper) or through a MSBuild task with the help of MSBuild Community Tasks.
