Attributes

Note: This table was written back when xUnit.net 1.0 has shipped, and needs to be updated with information regarding the latest versions of the unit testing frameworks.

NUnit 2.2	MSTest 2005	xUnit.net 2.x	Comments
[Test]	[TestMethod]	[Fact]	Marks a test method.
[TestFixture]	[TestClass]	n/a	xUnit.net does not require an attribute for a test class; it looks for all test methods in all public (exported) classes in the assembly.
[ExpectedException]	[ExpectedException]	Assert.Throws Record.Exception	xUnit.net has done away with the ExpectedException attribute in favor of Assert.Throws. See Note 1
[SetUp]	[TestInitialize]	Constructor	We believe that use of [SetUp] is generally bad. However, you can implement a parameterless constructor as a direct replacement. See Note 2
[TearDown]	[TestCleanup]	IDisposable.Dispose	We believe that use of [TearDown] is generally bad. However, you can implement IDisposable.Dispose as a direct replacement. See Note 2
[TestFixtureSetUp]	[ClassInitialize]	IClassFixture<T>	To get per-class fixture setup, implement IClassFixture<T> on your test class. See Note 3
[TestFixtureTearDown]	[ClassCleanup]	IClassFixture<T>	To get per-class fixture teardown, implement IClassFixture<T> on your test class. See Note 3
n/a	n/a	ICollectionFixture<T>	To get per-collection fixture setup and teardown, implement ICollectionFixture<T> on your test collection. See Note 3
[Ignore]	[Ignore]	[Fact(Skip="reason")]	Set the Skip parameter on the [Fact] attribute to temporarily skip a test.
[Property]	[TestProperty]	[Trait]	Set arbitrary metadata on a test
n/a	[DataSource]	[Theory] [XxxData]	Theory (data-driven test). See Note 4

Attribute Notes

Note 1: Long-term use of [ExpectedException] has uncovered various problems with it. First, it doesn’t specifically say which line of code should throw the exception, which allows subtle and difficult-to-track failures that show up as passing tests. Second, it doesn’t offer the opportunity to fully inspect details of the exception itself, since the handling is outside the normal code flow of the test. Assert.Throws allows you to test a specific set of code for throwing an exception, and returns the exception during success so you can write further asserts against the exception instance itself.

Note 2: The xUnit.net team feels that per-test setup and teardown creates difficult-to-follow and debug testing code, often causing unnecessary code to run before every single test is run. For more information, see http://jamesnewkirk.typepad.com/posts/2007/09/why-you-should-.html.

Note 3: xUnit.net provides a new way to think about per-fixture data with the use of the IClassFixture<T> and ICollectionFixture<T> interfaces. The runner will create a single instance of the fixture data and pass it through to your constructor before running each test. All the tests share the same instance of fixture data. After all the tests have run, the runner will dispose of the fixture data, if it implements IDisposable. For more information, see Shared Context.

Note 4: xUnit.net ships with support for data-driven tests call Theories. Mark your test with the [Theory] attribute (instead of [Fact]), then decorate it with one or more [XxxData] attributes, including [InlineData] and [MemberData]. For more information, see Getting Started.

Assertions

NUnit 2.2	MSTest 2005	xUnit.net 1.x	Comments
AreEqual	AreEqual	Equal	MSTest and xUnit.net support generic versions of this method
AreNotEqual	AreNotEqual	NotEqual	MSTest and xUnit.net support generic versions of this method
AreNotSame	AreNotSame	NotSame
AreSame	AreSame	Same
Contains	Contains	Contains
DoAssert	n/a	n/a
n/a	DoesNotContain	DoesNotContain
n/a	n/a	DoesNotThrow	Ensures that the code does not throw any exceptions
Fail	Fail	n/a	xUnit.net alternative: Assert.True(false, "message")
Greater	n/a	n/a	xUnit.net alternative: Assert.True(x > y)
Ignore	Inconclusive	n/a
n/a	n/a	InRange	Ensures that a value is in a given inclusive range (note: NUnit and MSTest have limited support for InRange on their AreEqual methods)
IsAssignableFrom	n/a	IsAssignableFrom
IsEmpty	n/a	Empty
IsFalse	IsFalse	False
IsInstanceOfType	IsInstanceOfType	IsType
IsNaN	n/a	n/a	xUnit.net alternative: Assert.True(double.IsNaN(x))

IsNotInstanceOfType	IsNotInstanceOfType	IsNotType
IsNotNull	IsNotNull	NotNull
IsNull	IsNull	Null
IsTrue	IsTrue	True
Less	n/a	n/a	xUnit.net alternative: Assert.True(x < y)
n/a	n/a	NotInRange	Ensures that a value is not in a given inclusive range
n/a	n/a	Throws	Ensures that the code throws an exact exception
