Is there a tool for automated test discovery for .NET. I am using the Visual Studio unit testing stuff and wanted functionality similar to Python Nose. I need to have a tool automatically discover all the unit test available and run for example the ones “marked” as unit and in different scenarios run the tests “marked” as Integration and so on. I have found an individual that has created his own implementation of the MSBuild test task and an considering creating my own with annotation attributes to do what Nose does but wanted to see if anyone was aware of an existing tool that could work.

Thanks

    Visual Studio integrated test framework does exactly that when running from the IDE.
    If you need a command line tool that does exactly the same functionality (finds all the tests in a specific directory/solution) I guess you have to write something.

    Because MSTest command line needs at least the assembly to be specified. I suggest you write a short script that iterates all the assemblies and find if they have tests in them and then run each assembly using MSTest.exe

    Update:
    I’ve just published a new CodePlex project called #Nose that does exactly what you need. Currently it only supports NUnit but I plan on adding VSTest as well.
