Jamie Cansdale's added support for executing unit tests via NCover in the latest builds on
TestDriven.NET. Running the
Test With ... Coverage context menu option pops up an
NCoverExplorer window using colour coding to show which lines have been covered by your tests.
It's definitely a nice feature and it helps reduce the analysis tool feedback loop that I've
blogged about previously.
My only criticism is that the NCoverExplorer treeview doesn't open up
to the class-under-test. Maybe this would be hard to divine.
I'm also pretty excited about the support that Jamie has added to add
custom tools to the TestDriven.NET context menu to run against the
assembly-under-test. I tried adding the necessary registry entries in
order to get Simian to execute, but I didn't have much luck getting
this entry to show up in the context menu. I think that this kind of
integration has huge potential and hopefully TestDriven.NET will
continue to build support for this.
Scott Hanselman has put together a podcast on Continuous Integration and CruiseControl.NET.
