This is the final release of version 1.0 of the TestCentric Runner for NUnit, which is
primarily based on the layout and feature set of the original NUnit V2 GUI runner with
internals modified so as to run NUnit3 tests. Certain changes were made because of
differences in how NUnit3 works and are described below under Features.

This new GUI runner was created by the TestCentric team: Charlie Poole, Mikkel Bundgaard,
Manfred Lange, Stefano Nuzzo and Robert Snyder. Community members who contributed code to
this release include Jeff Kryzer, zBrianW, Joseph Musser and Mattias Karlsson. Countless
other folks contributed by filing issues, asking questions and making suggestions.

Features

  • TestCentric relies on the NUnit engine to load and run tests. Features that require
    an engine extension are only available if the appropriate extension is installed. In
    particular, this includes the ability to open both NUnit and Visual Studio projects,
    run NUNit V2 tests and save results in V2 format.

  • All direct access to NUnit project contents, such as editing, saving and adding
    configurations, has been removed. The user should use a separate editor such as
    the NUnit Project Editor to perform those tasks.

  • Because the GUI runs under .NET 4.5 or higher, any tests that you cause to execute
    in-process will run under that version of the framework. In some cases, this may give
    different results. By default, tests are run in a separate process and use the target
    framework for which they were built. We recommend you stick with the default.

  • The File menu no longer has entries for Load Fixture or Clear Fixture. New menu
    items to select Process and AppDomain options for loading have been added and the
    corresponding Settings pages removed.

  • The Project top level menu has been removed since it was mostly used to contain
    entries related to NUnit projects. The "Add Projects" entry has been replaced by
    "Add Files" on the File menu.

  • The Tools menu no longer has entries for Exception Details or Test Assemblies.
    The Open Log Directory entry has been replaced with Open Work Directory.

  • The Result Tabs (Errors and Failures, Tests Not Run, and Text Output) may no
    longer be hidden. The Text Output tab only displays Console output and the ability
    to tailor it's contents has been removed with the exception of the option to label
    tests by name in various ways.

  • Version 0.15 of the Experimental GUI is included.

Known Problems

  • TestCentric uses the test id to select individual tests to be run. This is not
    currently supported by the V2 framework driver, which throws an exception when
    an id filter is encountered. The result for the GUI is that it is not possible
    to select individual tests for execution if any V2 framework tests are loaded.
    For that reason, we recommend that you only use this release for NUnit 3 tests.
    This problem will be fixed when a new version of the V2 driver is available,
    which includes support for an id filter.
