20.7. Summary

This chapter described how you can use unit testing to ensure the correct functionality of your code. The unit-testing framework within Visual Studio is quite comprehensive, enabling you to both document and manage test cases.

You can fully exercise the testing framework using an appropriate data source to minimize the repetitive code you have to write. You can also extend the framework to test all the inner workings of your application.

The Test Edition of Visual Studio Team System contains even more functionality for testing, including the ability to track and report on code coverage, and support for load and web application testing. Chapter 56 provides more detail on Visual Studio Team System Test Edition.
