Jedrek - I ran into the same problem with 2.5.9 and solved it by putting [TestFixture(Ignore = true)] on the base class. NUnit skips those tests on the base class.

Well I use NUnit 2.5.8 and the code you wrote doesn't behave nicely. Because instead of two, three tests are run: SpanishPersonTest, HungarianPersonTest and as well PersonTestBase. Of course the first two run correctly, but the third fails with NullReferenceException as _person is set only in derived classes.
It's not a big problem, but I'm curious if it can be fixed somehow (some option, attribute?) not using if-based workarounds.

Hi,
I'd like to have inheritance in my test, but I have problems finding a tool to debug inherited tests one by one in Visual Studio.
Do you use specific tools to do it or any other technique?

Have you tried Rhino Mocks? I love its Record-Playback pattern. The lines from above:
_dataLayerMock.Setup(x => x.SaveAccount(It.Is( a => a.AccountType == AccountType.Private )));
_businessLayer.CreateAccount("Mr X", true);
_dataLayerMock.VerifyAll();
are something like:

using(mocks.Record())
{
Expect.Call(x.SaveAccount()).IgnoreArguments().Constraints(constraints are here);
}

using(mocks.Playback())
{
_businessLayer.CreateAccount("Mr X", true);
}

There is an implicit VerifyAll() call at the end of the playback using block. Usually you don't have to use delegates or lambdas to set up parameters (in this case you have to). It provides fluent interfaces to refine your expectations. It's readable.

BTW Moq is very similar to Rhino Mocks. I just prefer the Record-Playback pattern. It can be much more readable. :)

Nice article, Robi. In my opinion, TFS is the best all-in-one tool for developers, architects and other technical and manager guys. Assigning TFS work item to any check-in is one of most important key methods of development phase :)
How do you manage areas and iterations? For example, in a small project, middle-size team? Keep contact if you want, we can share our knowledge;)

Great post! found through your comment on Tom Clarkson's blog.

It'd be great to collaborate on a list to guide SharePoint Developers.

I have started a list on Integrator Checklist to help people take code of Integrators and bring it in house. But these guidelines would be good regardless of where it is developed.

Ping me if you're interested in adding your points to there.

Marvelous. Waiting for the next one.

Why not use a mocking framework for this (like Rhino or Typemock) ? It will make unit testing this easier …
