I would love to know if there is a way I can get Visual Studio to run unit tests corresponding to a given assembly whenever I build it.

Given a solution containing projects structured like this:

Assembly1

Assembly1.Tests 

Assembly2 

Assembly2.Tests

Is there a way I can get the unit tests in Assembly2.Tests to run whenever Assembly2 is built?

That would be amazing.

I’m using Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition.

    You can use the nUnit console utility to run the tests as a post-build event for the individual project.

    You call the nunit-console.exe and supply your assembly containing your tests as an argument.

    “C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.5.7\bin\net-2.0\nunit-console.exe” “PathToTestAssembly.dll”

    or

    You can run the tests in the GUI:

    “C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.5.7\bin\net-2.0\nunit.exe” “PathToTestAssembly.dll” /run

    Edit:

    Removed the part about the post-build event for the test assembly project.
