I'm looking into using Visual Studio 2008's built in unit test projects instead of NUnit and I was wondering if anyone has any experience in trying to integrate this type of unit test project with Cruise Control.Net.

From some of the initial research it doesn't appear to be a super simple solution.

It appears that doing this involves having Visual Studio 2008 actually installed on the continuous integration server, which could be a deal breaker.

Then configure the MSTest.exe to run in the tasks list, but first you'll have to make a batch file to delete the results files from previous passes as this file's existence causes an error.

Then create a xslt to format the results and put it into the dashboard.config file.

The code project article I found has a lot more detail.

    You can run mstest without installing visual studio 2008. I've blogged about it here: http://mindinthewater.blogspot.com/2008/11/executing-visual-studio-unit-tests.html – Wim Coenen Apr 23 '09 at 01:12
