Test Driven Development
Books
Lessons Learned in Software Testing by Cem Kaner, James Bach, and Bret Pettichord.
Pragmatic Unit Testing in C# by the Pragmatic Programmers Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas, the preview chapters (one, two) look good.
Managing the Testing Process by Rex Black – highly recommended by John Robbins.
Test Driven Development: A Practical Guide by Dave Astels, we've got this at work and it is very good although the examples are in Java.
Test Driven Development: By Example by Kent Beck. My comment: can we please move away from the stupid money example.
Test-Driven Development in Microsoft .NET by James Newkirk, a developer on the NUnit project. Awesome book. (get all the code from the TDD workspace on GotDotNet)
Software
csUnit - open source testing framework
NUnit - open source testing framework
mbUnit - unit testing similar to NUnit, from a Microsoft employee
.TEST - commercial automated unit testing software
HarnessIt - commercial testing framework
Unite.NET - commercial unit and integration test software
X-Unity - commercial testing framework
NUnitAddin - Visual Studio add-in, currently has command-line interface (I hear Jamie Cansdale is working on a GUI with red/green bars)
NUnitASP - test web sites by interacting programmatically with the controls on the web page. Now supports authentication as well as several other new features! Also see my NUnitAsp Tips and Best Practices.
NUnitForms - allows you to test Windows Forms in a manner similar to NUnitAsp (you get to interact with the form elements programmatically). It even includes a recorder application!
RUnit - runs NUnit test harnesses in ASP.NET.
TestRunner for NUnit - an NUnit add-in for Visual Studio .NET. See blog post.
VSNUnit - an NUnit add-in for Visual Studio .NET. See blog post.
