NUnit 2.2 Beta 3 and other great tools

That's right, two weeks after the release of NUnit 2.2 Beta 2, a fresh Beta has been released. This one can be used straight from within Visual Studio.Net 2005 and the Express downloads.

Other interesting tools I use for testing and daily build:

  • NAnt -- at this time, still the most important build tool but a year from now it will likely be superseded by MSBuild;
  • NAntContrib -- third-party contributions to NAnt, a great library of extra tasks;
  • NDoc -- for generating MSDN-style Compiled Help files;
  • VIL -- for calculating code metrics including Cyclomatic Complexity and Lack of Cohesion in Methods;
  • FxCop -- as far as I know, still the best free tool for quick static analysis of assemblies;
  • DevPartner Studio -- a great and very extensive static analysis tool, a must-have for doing serious code reviews. It also includes profiling and code coverage analysis.

What tools do you like and recommend?
