Web Resources for Unit Testing

Question

I'd like to start using unit testing as part of my development projects. Can anyone recommend any web resources to help explain how to write effective unit tests? A walk through example project would be useful.

I am predominantly working wit C# and would prefer examples which demonstrate using .Net unit testing tools but don't mind if there is a useful example in some other language.

not actually an answer to your question but..there's also this great guide by Misko Hevery on how to write/refactor code to make it more testable (focused on unit testing) http://misko.hevery.com/code-reviewers-guide/ – Rafael Oltra Jan 14 '11 at 18:34

Personally I like the Visual Studio Embedded Test. But in the near past I was really happy with NUnit. If you need some mocking, i would suggest MoQ for his simplicity. Hope this help.

Good unit test should make…

Easy to write tests
Easy to organize your tests
Easy to run tests (all, some, one)

I also firstly had experience with NUnit and later moved to MSTest. In my opinion MSTest has 2 strength: it is much easy to create unit test for particular method and run test. The only problem with organising tests in group - that is what was easy to do with NUnit.

More information regarding creating effective unit test for .Net also described here

I very recomment the Art of Unit Testing book from Roy Osherove. This book is an essense of expirience and best practices. And yes, this is not an web-resource, but you should look to Roy's blog too.
