I spent the better part to the day trying to make existing tests work with an UWP configuration.
Problem being that UWP apps are a completely different kind of breed, eg no console apps and unit test support is not yet the same like for other framework versions.
nunit engine is not yet compatible with UWP apps.
I did try the NUnit Visual Studio Templates (Github / VS Extension Gallery) that have UWP support.
Tests did run correctly (as a separate app), but VS didn't recognize any of the nunit specific code highlighting everything as errors.
xunit: seems to be the only UWP compatible one at the moment, but syntax is different to nunit which would mean rewriting all tests
VS does provide a Unit Test App (Universal Windows) template of its own, but the available methods seem subpar to nunit, e.g. DataSource attribute to feed different data do a test method seems to accept database connections only. Haven't found a way to feed a list of file names like with nunit's TestCaseSource.
Also different syntax compared to nunit.
