Rhino.Mocks is a great mocking library - I prefer it to NMock, though
of course your mileage may vary. Then there's SharpDevelop of course.

If you want code which is "free as in beer" rather than necessarily
open source, JetBrains do a great unit test runner for free, with
nicer integration than TestDriven.NET (IMO). Mind you, I'd suggest
spending the money and buying ReSharper...

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah ReSharper is good and there is one more
like same is CodeRush and Refactor Pro!, anyway the TestDriven.NET I think
is not free even.

Anyway, I just wanted to know all the tools available like this. While
googling I just came to one more NSpecify, and few other on this site. I see
most of them is from ThoughtWorks. These guys are crazy creating all the
open source tools like this.

I look forward to hear from the community more on this.

Hae a good day.

Regards

Ah yes - mentioning ThoughtWorks reminded me: CruiseControl.NET. It's
definitely worth having continuous integration.

As for whether ThoughtWorks are crazy for doing all the open source
work... it's *great* advertising for them, and selling products like
these isn't their core business. It also helps to keep devs happy,
which is why they've got some of the top minds in the business.
