Unit testing assistance

ReSharper helps discover and run or debug unit tests right in Visual Studio. The following unit testing frameworks are supported:

• NUnit — ReSharper installation includes 2 bundled test runners that support versions up to 2.7.1 and up to 3.15.5 correspondingly. Other versions up to 4.1.0 are supported and will be used if the corresponding NuGet package is installed in the project.

• MSTest for all supported Visual Studio versions

• xUnit

• Custom test frameworks that use VSTest and Microsoft.Testing.Platform.

  To enable support of these frameworks, select the corresponding checkboxes on the Tools | Unit Testing | Test Frameworks | VSTest page of ReSharper options Alt+R, O.

• bUnit - a testing library for Blazor components

• Machine.Specifications (requires an extension). For more information about using extensions, see Manage extensions.

• QUnit

• Jasmine 1.3. - 2.3.

• Unreal Engine testing framework

• Google C++ Testing Framework

• doctest unit testing framework

• Catch C++ test framework

• Boost.Test framework (v. 1.59 and above)

With ReSharper, you can execute a single unit test, all tests in a test class, file, project or solution. You can also execute any number of tests combined in a test session.

Unit testing assistance can be extended with other JetBrains .NET products: you can profile unit tests with dotTrace and analyze code coverage of unit tests with dotCover. These products are included in the dotUltimate license.
