Feedback requested.

Project is debating on implementing this. I have been asked to research this tool.

while I can get the glossy from MS website and do some Google research; anyone that has come into contact with it, your first hand opinions would be useful

TIA

are you referring to the Unit Test framework, or something else?

are you referring to the Unit Test framework, or something else?

At this point, I am not sure.

They are talking about using this for Unit testing and integration testing.

I am just now starting to review the MS video onthe tool.

I was not impressed, even mildly, when I have looked at it several times. It's probably just that MS's target doesn't match my needs at all.

How widely separated are the testers and developers intended to be on this project? Are you using Team Foundation Server for your bug tracking? If you're a small-to-medium-size team not using Team Foundation Server, it doesn't look worthwhile to me.

I work for a testing company, and my boss gets enamored with various tools too. One that might actually be useful to you is FitNesse. I know, you see Java on that page; but there is a .NET version too. It's free, it's simple to set up, and it should be good for unit testing.

(And if that doesn't look good to you, please spell out more of your requirements.)

The MSTest unit testing framework built into Visual Studio is passable. We're using it over nUnit because it runs from within Visual Studio and was really easy to make TFS run all the tests on every check-in build. But with a test runner (TestDriven, CodeRush has one, etc.) or a non-TFS environment then another testing framework would make more sense.

Basically only use MSTest if you're a 100% MS shop top to bottom.
