NUnit Pocket Reference

Current economic conditions mean increased workloads and short development cycles, and unit testing is a practical way to improve code as it's written, saving the QA people time and headaches. For .NET developers, the open source NUnit Framework provides an excellent way to test code. Our handy pocket guide is a complete reference to NUnit, picking up where the available documentation leaves off. The book presents developers with everything they need to know for installing and configuring NUnit, and offers examples on how to use it.
