A pluggable agent for the TestCentric Gui Runner, capable of running tests under .NET 6.0.
Version 2 of the TestCentric Engine will no longer have built-in agents for running tests. All agents will be distributed separately, as pluggable agents, which are a particulary type of engine extension supported by TestCentric.
Of course, a runner without any agents would not be capable of doing anything useful. So, each runner we provide
will come with at least one pluggable agent pre-installed. For example the 2.0 release of the GUI will
include agents targeting net462, net6.0 and net7.0.
The pluggable agents provided with a runner are still separate packages, but are listed as dependencies of the runner package itself. This allows us to modify easily modify the set of standard agents provided for a runner over it's life cycle and over the life cycle of the supported .NET platforms.
All pluggable agents are being released with an initial version of 2.0.0. This is done to serve as a reminder that the agents will only function in version 2.0.0 or higher of the TestCentric Gui Runner.
The package id for each pluggable agent uses the NUnit naming convention: NUnit.Extension.* or nunit-extension-*. However, no releases of NUnit 3 currently support this type of extension and it's not clear whether they will be supported in future releases.
