Used the create unit tests tool in Visual Studio and obviously it tries to instantiate my abstract classes.

My question is: Should I try to unit test the way Visual Studio is trying to get me to do it, or should I create a mock class to be instantiated, or should I only test the methods that use this abstract class?

Thanks.

    If there are methods on this abstract class that are worth testing, then you should test them. You could always subclass the abstract class for the test (and name it like MyAbstractClassTesting) and test this new concrete class.
