10.4 Getting More from Your Tests with Zanebug

Test runners from frameworks such as NUnit and MbUnit do a great job of managing and running tests from those environments, but you may want more control over which tests you run. You might also want to be able to get more information from your tests’ execution, or even to run groups of tests multiple times in one fell swoop.

Sean McCormack’s Zanebug will give you that control, as well as a wealth of information on how tests are executing. You can even make use of Windows Performance Monitor probes directly from Zanebug, which is handy if you’re trying to troubleshoot performance issues in your software or tests.
