Testing Automation Tools For .NET


I'm trying to find some useful Open Source Testing Automation Tools for use with the .NET framework. I've done a fair bit of research, but unfortunately, most of the tools I have found focus on testing web applications only.

There are 3 types of programs that we run in order to make our software do what it needs to do: We program a service in VB.NET to collect data, we have an AJAX/JavaScript + VB/ASP.NET web application to view the data, and a VB.NET Form-based GUI to edit the data.

I understand that the chances finding a tool that would test all three is slim to nil, but I was not expecting a single tool to cover all of them.

Since the service we run is the most important, I was hoping the Stack Overflow community might have some insight as to what testing automation tools would be particularly useful for VB.NET services. Any information with respect to the GUI or Web Application sides would be a great help as well.


Solution

  • You can test your service with any unit test framework like NUnit, MbUnit, MSTest, ... .

    Your web application like you probably know there many different applications like Watir, Watin, Selenium, SWAT, Telerik WebUITest Studio.

    I'm not familiar with Windows form testing tool; however, I know that Telerik is comming up with one.
