Comments on: More Unit Testing articles… http://will.id.au/blog/archive/2004/07/30/more-unit-testing-articles My random thoughts about stuff Thu, 03 May 2007 15:53:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: William Luu http://will.id.au/blog/archive/2004/07/30/more-unit-testing-articles/comment-page-1#comment-31 William Luu Sat, 07 Aug 2004 08:54:30 +0000 http://will.id.au/blog/archive/2004/07/30/more-unit-testing-articles#comment-31 Cheers Keith, it's something i'll definately check out. If not, i'll probably just end up looking at MSBuild which I believe does something quite similar. (Eg: Make file, etc...) I spend my time away from VS in textpad anyway :) [Sometimes text just looks clearer in there compared to VS.NET 2002 that i'm using at work...] Cheers Keith, it’s something i’ll definately check out.

It proves a truckload more power and flexibility than the VS.NET project system. For example you can do things like: - Automatically check all your code out of your source control system and build it - Run your NUnit tests - Say you have three customers using your software, each with individual configuration info, you can have your build process spit out three builds configured and ready to xcopy deploy. - You can have NAnt zip these up for you or use something like WiX to create a nice installer.
