I was giving the presentation on Thursday, and was thinking that the unit testing tools only existing in the TS version is wrong. Unit testing should be performed at the developer level, and not by the QA portion of a team. I know there are tools such as nUnit out there that you can use, but that makes no sense to me. Seems like the developer edition should include that testing tool. Performance tools, ok...loadtesting, ok....but unit testing????

This should be included.

I had the pleasure the other evening of speaking at the GCNUG monthly meeting on unit testing with the VSTS tools. The members were most gracious, and they didn't throw anything fatal. :-)

Anyway, I was thinking about something wilst writing my presentation: why is it that the unit testing tools are only available with the VSTS? Now, I can see why the load testing and web testing tools shouldn't be available in the Professional edition, but why not the unit tools? I mean, nUnit is a great tool and the guys who wrote it (and the unit testing portion of the VSTS, also) have promised the next version will be even better, but doesn't it make sense to provide that tool to devs? Just my two cents.

Lou and his family were kind enough to host us while we (Sheri and I) were in town. Lou cooks a mean piece of salmon, just in case you were wondering. :-) Sheri and I made a brief vacation of it, and drove around Chasn checking it out. We haven't been there in like forever, so it was fanatastic to see how it changed.
