Isn't it funny how charging for a genuinely useful tool
has to be explained?
TD.NET is a mainstay of our .NET development team and
TDD without it seems barbaric. :-) In fact, when we have
had problems with TD.NET (weird problem while using VPN
a while back that made tests take forever - something
weird with the remoting bits) and it was just miserable.
A quick way to discover your dependencies is to remove
them and see how it hurts!
Jonathan: agreed :)
TD.NET not free - not even a small tiny version - has
really hurt me. My company is run by politics, which
means that we can only use certain tools, and to add new
ones to the list of approved ones takes right about 12
months (not exagerating). TD.NET is not on the list, and
it will never be on it. VSTS is on the list, but the
cost is prohibitive.
NUnit & NCoverage have been the main tools for p/a's
first line of defense against bugs, albeit "illegally".
I can still use the tools "stand alone", but just makes
it harder without the add-in.
Wasn't it an O/S project at one point?
