I need to create the NUnit Test case automatically from my .Net Solution file.
Morover this needs to be done , from command line.
I heard Pex create test cases automatically.
Let know
The following steps should get you there:
Add a reference to Pex.NUnit.dll in your test project
In your test project's AssemblyInfo.cs, add the attribute - [assembly: Pex.NUnit.PexNUnitPackage]
Build your solution (either from Visual Studio or using msbuild from the command line)
run Pex from the command line: pex.exe bin\Debug\TestProjectName.dll
The tests are placed under reports\TestProjecName.#####.#####\tests.
You can read more about this in Exercise 5 of Parameterized Unit Testing with Microsoft Pex
Ryan Gross' answer
points to the right direction.
However Pex.exe generates Unit Tests from Parameterized Unit
Tests, not from
application classes itself.
To generate Parameterized Unit Tests you need to run pexwizard.exe
pexwizard.exe <your assembly name> options
Possible options are described in
http://testoriented.googlecode.com/svn-history/r89/suitability/trunk/Tools/Pex-0.22.50128.1/pexwizard.txt

I did some research and I always found that the tests are located in some dll. However in my project there are no .dlls created and the tests are located in the .exe file.
Do I have to set some specific parameters?
This is the log from vsts after I pointed the path for test assemblies to the exe. Before I pointed it to **\*.test*.dll but it could never find any tests. When running the tests or build locally there is also never a test dll created.

How do I make the tests show up as .dlls instead of being inside the .exe?
As your example shows, NUnit as well as VS Test Explorer are very happy to have tests in an .exe along with the production code. Most people prefer to have the tests separate from the production code, which is distributed to users, so they create a separate project to contain them.
So, your answer is that there is no way to make the tests "show up" as a .dll if they are actually in the .exe. OTOH, assuming you are the developer of the application, you can create a separate project, which creates a class library, and move the tests into that project.
I'm currently moving one of our projects to DNX (.NET Core now) and I was forced to update to nunit3. Because of other considerations, we run compile the test project as a console app with its own entry point, basically self-hosting the NUnit runner.
I now need to report the results to TeamCity via the XML Reporter, which doesn't seem to parse Nunit3 TestResults.xml files.
Any advice on how to work around this?
The NUnit 3 console has the option to produce results formatted in the NUnit 2 style.
Use the option:
--result=[filename];format=nunit2
Docs: https://github.com/nunit/nunit/wiki/Console-Command-Line
To add to the answer above:
NUnitLite inherits the --result CLI parameter which seems to do the trick.
Another option, which I went for in the end is using the --teamcity CLI parameter:
dotnetbuild --project:<path to project directory> -- --teamcity
which will integrate with TC's service messages. This will also do real-time updates.
Is it possible to run NCover automatically from code instead of running NCover manually or via command line?
Here is the scenario, I have written a few tests, I execute all the tests and after the tests are completed, NCover should run automatically for that particular test project and store the coverage report as an XML in a location.
Is this possible to do? Kindly help.
Running NCover from the command line was the only option with NC3. When we updated NC4 the default works like this --> you create a project, the NCover service watches for a process to start that meets the match rules defined in the project, and then collects coverage on it.
This doc may be of some help: http://www.ncover.com/support/docs/desktop/user-guide/coverage_scenarios/how_do_i_collect_data_from_nunit

Hi i created a unit test case using NUnit.When i run the test NUnit it works fine.But i need to run it by using Visual studio.So i referred the NUnit website and followed the below steps
1)Right clicked the test project and clicked properties |Chose Debug option
2)checked the external program option and choosed the nUnit exe file.
3)And i run the test
Error i got:
Cannot start because the test project does not contain any test method.But i included 4 test methods which works in NUnit GUI.
Thanks in advance
Check out TestDriven.NET, a free Visual Studio add-in that allows you to run your unit tests with NUnit directly from the IDE.
Also ReSharper beautifully supports testing with NUnit!
http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/unit_testing.html
On the Debug options tab, make sure to also set a command line argument with the name of your test assembly.
I have 13 separate but related architecture assemblies, and 13 separate NUnit test assemblies, each one containing all the test fixtures for its matching architecture assembly. I am using NUnit 2.5.2 (latest version currently).
I can run each test assembly separately in the NUnit GUI and all the tests pass. However, when I come to combine them into a single NUnit project file, NUnit insists on applying a single config file to the whole test run. This won't work because each test assembly requires different config. I can't merge them into one "uber-config" file because some of the sections are mutually exclusive. I have tried running each assembly in the project in separate AppDomains, and also separate processes, but in both cases it fails to use the DLL-specific config file, so all the tests crash and burn.
I have done a Google search but so far I have not found any indication that NUnit supports this scenario. Am I right, or have I missed something?
I have tried my hardest to re-architecture the tests so that they could share the same config file, but I've had to admit defeat on that front.
NUnit 2.5 has as setting where you can enable each assembly to run in a separate AppDomain. By doing this, NUnit will load the config for the assembly and not the one for the .nunit project.
For more info, see here:
http://nunit.org/index.php?p=settingsDialog&r=2.5
In the past I've done this with a batch file running each assembly through the nunit console independently. At one point I had something that merged the xml output together. It might be in the CruiseControl.Net code.
I haven't worked on the NUnit project for a while. I only have the older code in my head. But the issue is that you get one config per AppDomain and NUnit loads all the test assemblies into one AppDomain.
You might want to try alternate runners such as Resharper or TestDriven.net
