Answer 1

Try NUnit (http://www.nunit.org/). It's a most popular testing framawork in .net

Answer 2

• NUnit for unit testing
• SpecFlow for end to end, BDD style testing
• I would also use NSubstitute for mocking; NBuilder for data generation

Answer 3

You can try White:

White is a framework for automating rich client applications based on Win32, WinForms, WPF, Silverlight and SWT (Java) platforms. It is .NET based and does not require the use of any proprietary scripting languages. Tests/automation programs using White can be written with whatever .NET language, IDE and tools you are already using. White provides a consistent object-oriented API, hiding the complexity of Microsoft's UIAutomation library (on which White is based) and windows messages.

And I see people using White along with SpecFlow:

SpecFlow aims at bridging the communication gap between domain experts and developers by binding business readable behavior specifications and examples to the underlying implementation.

Our mission is to provide a pragmatic and frictionless approach to Specification-By-Example for .NET projects.

SpecFlow also supports the concepts of Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) and Behavior Driven Development (BDD), which are often used synonymously with Specification-By-Example.

SpecFlow is open source and provided under a BSD license. As a part of the Cucumber family, SpecFlow uses the official Gherkin parser and provides integration to the .NET framework, Silverlight, Windows Phone and Mono.
