I somehow missed this post by Ben a few weeks back , but it is a great example of extension methods making something much clearer than it was before - by putting common Asserts into a few extension methods. Leveraging simple extension methods to make your tests more concise and readable can really help...

This whole " lets make TDD easier for the masses " thing is getting out of hand . Unit tests are not technically hard, as Udi points out, what is a test? Anything with TestFixture on it? It is not a technical challenge to write a unit test, any half trained monkey could do it. A few attributes...

I have a scenario where I have a private method that needs to be tested and the only way I can get to that method is by calling another public method and exercising all of its logic. This private method has a few different pathways and I would like to create tests for each of them. I could do this by...

-- UPDATE See text in red below -- Ok, I am in NO way trying to say that this is either Rhino's issue or MSTest. I am simply blogging this with the intent that someone can shed some insight as to what may be going on. Although, since I know that the AAA logic of Rhino works with the EXACT same code...
