3. In Visual Studio, right-click the MyBlog solution and choose Add | New Project.
4. Search for bUnit, select bUnit Test Project in the results, and then click Next. Sometimes, it takes time to find a template, and we can also change the Project Type dropdown to bUnit to find the template. We might need to reboot Visual Studio to find it.
