TestCentric Runner for NUnit - Version 1.0

Build status

The TestCentric Runner for NUnit (aka TestCentric) is a GUI runner aimed at eventually supporting a range of .NET testing frameworks. In the version 1.0 release, we are concentrating on support of NUnit tests.

Features

The initial release is based on the layout and feature set of the of the original NUnit GUI, with the internals modified so as to run NUnit 3 tests. See CHANGES for a list of the most important changes. See ROADMAP for info about future plans.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

TestCentric requires .NET 4.5 or later in order to function. Your projects whose tests will run under TestCentric should already have some version of the NUnit framework installed.

Installation

TestCentric is released in two package formats, zip and chocolatey, both available from the GitHub project site. The chocolatey package is also available at chocolatey.org.

The chocolatey package provides the best user experience and is the recommended way to install TestCentric. Follow the directions at chocolatey.org or see the INSTALL document. If you wish to install any NUnit engine extensions for use with the GUI, simply install them using choco.exe in the same way as the GUI.

To use the zip distribution, you should simply unzip the contents into a convenient directory and create your own shortcut to testcentric.exe. To use it from the command-line, place the install directory on your path. See the INSTALL document for details, including installation of pre-release versions of TestCentric.

Versioning

TestCentric uses semantic versioning for its version numbers, with specific exceptions and clarification regarding what is considered a breaking change. See the VERSIONING file for more information.

Licensing

TestCentric is an Open Source software, released under the MIT / X11 license. See LICENSE for a copy of the license.

TestCentric bundles a modified copy of the NUnit test engine, which is also licensed under the MIT / X11 license. In addition, the first version of the GUI is based in part on the NUnit 2.x GUI runner, released under the NUnit license. See NOTICES for copyright information.
