For live unit testing you really cannot go past Ncrunch.net. It is absolutely brilliant, colour coding the testing coverage and test results in the margins of the editor - which run and update as you type. I bought my own personal license for this.

Core support is coming; first beta just released. I believe that targeting a constantly changing tooling set was/is quite a challenge.

Running a trial of that now. Loving it.

Will try reshaper as well before deciding to buy any of them.

Awesome, good luck! New to C# in January '16, I have been using both from day 1. The test runner in RS is an improvement on the built in, but doesn't really hold a candle to NCrunch. You use Resharper for all the other good bits though :) Together, the trifecta of Studio, NCrunch and Resharper is an unbeatable combination.

Beware: I'm pretty sure I failed a job interview as I was so used to Resharper, when I needed to do a test on a PC without I was fairly lost. They had no interest in my setting up unit tests first for the programming tasks so it might have been just as well.

Same here.

Thanks for the updates.

For some reason I though Reshaper would be incompatible with NCrunch but I will try them together now.

Correction: Remco has now released initial Core support in the mainline. :)))
