The whole Live Unit Testing thing sounds like they copy pasted NCrunch into VS

Wondering if the Live Unit Testing came from the acquisition/integration of the Alive project. Very interesting indeed.

It might be, but Alive was much more than just if the tests pass or not

Might be. Also, in any case - this adds stuff that wasn't in the original Alive AFAIK - supposedly it knows to only run tests that were affected by your last edit and show line-by-line red/green/gray coverage indicators: did someone say NCrunch?

Correct. Alive was focused on a chosen method - so you chose one method, the test case to check that method, and then it ran. You could then check what execution would look like in called methods, but it was not project/solution wide.

Thanks! I was hoping I would be able to get rid of ReSharper, but the lack of CamelHumps in navigation and in code completion will force me to keep using.

Personally they'll have to pry ReSharper from my cold, dead, hands - I've grown to rely on more advanced features like Value Origins/Destination https://www.jetbrains.com/help/resharper/2016.2/Code_Analysi... That I couldn't possibly go back.

Good God I love ReSharper. I've been using it since the mid 2000s. It's a wonderful tool. However, their more recent releases have introduced some pretty annoying regressions with code formatting and other features. They seem to be ignoring my hand-reported issues on YouTrack. I haven't been as impressed with ReSharper as in the past. Hopefully they can right the ship and put out better quality stuff.

Visual Studio already supports Camel Hump search in IntelliSense and for symbols within GoTo. It’s currently missing for file names in Go To, but we’re working on that and it should be coming soon.

P.s. I work on the extended VS team.

Very nice overview! Thank you.
