Templates for Unit Tests
This topic describes integrated templates that simplify writing unit tests.
CodeRush supports the following test frameworks:
- MbUnit
- MSTest
- NUnit
- xUnit
Create Test Fixtures and Test Methods
Follow the steps below to write a test with CodeRush.
- Create a new class file.
- Reference the test framework (for instance, NUnit installed from NuGet).
- Delete the auto-generated class definition.
- Expand the t template within the namespace.

The t template expanded outside the class corresponds to the tf (test fixture) template. If you expand the t template inside the class, it calls the tm (test method) template that creates a new test method.
