Unit testing represents the practice of writing code to test other code. The term "unit" refers to identifying pieces of code (classes, methods, and so on) that represent useful functionality and can be tested by separate pieces of code. As a developer, establishing these tests allows you to easily verify that your code continues to work as changes and additions are made.
Visual Studio historically has been tightly tied to the MSTest framework when it comes to unit testing. The inclusion of a unit test framework inside Visual Studio has been excellent. It has encouraged developers to improve their quality by writing tests to prove code functions as expected. On the flip side, many developers regard MSTest as an inferior unit test framework when compared to NUnit, XUnit, and other frameworks.
The problem stems from the fact that MSTest does so much more than unit testing, and as a result, suffers from poor speed and bloat. Additionally, its assertion...
