This is question for those who work in .Net and are curious enough to expand their toolset, including also things beyond Microsoft’s solutions.
Coming from the Java world, there is a toolset I would consider using every new project, such as:
- Spring for IoC and MVC.
- JPA/Hibernate for persistence and ORM.
- JUnit/TestNG for unit testing.
- Maven for build management.
- Sonar for code quality metrics.
- CruiseControl/Hudson for continuous integration.
- Etc.
Question:
What would be the similar toolset for high quality .Net projects?
My (basic) knowledge tells me that I should look into NHibernate and NUnit. Also, that I could still use CruiseControl for CI as long as my build procedure and testing scripts are sound.
Does it makes sense? Any other worth looking tools? (coming from MS or from the community)
Some people has told me about Microsoft latest tools for CI (Team System, etc.), but they didn’t have real on-hands experience. If you have such experience, please feel free to share it.
Just replace the ‘J’ by an ‘N’ and you’re almost done…
also definitely useful:
