TUnit.Engine v0.1.738 — nugetz
thomhurst/ TUnit.Engine v0.1.738 ✓ Verified .NET 8.0 .NET 9.0 .NET 10.0 .NET Std2.0
A .NET Testing Framework
Get Started dotnet CLI PackageReference Package Manager
$ dotnet add package TUnit.EngineReadme TUnit
A modern, flexible and fast testing framework for .NET 8 and up. With Native AOT and Trimmed Single File application support included!
Documentation
See here: https://thomhurst.github.io/TUnit/
IDE
TUnit is built on top of the newer Microsoft.Testing.Platform, as opposed to the older VSTest platform. As of September 2024, IDEs do not fully support this testing platform yet.
Visual Studio 17.10 onwards can run the new tests by enabling the new testing platform server mode, within Visual Studio preview/experimental features. You will have to opt in to this manually.
For Rider, it is not yet supported. I believe they are working on it so we just have to wait for now.
dotnet CLI - Fully supported. Tests should be runnable with dotnet test,
dotnet run
dotnet exec
Features
Native AOT / Trimmed Single File application support
Source generated tests
Dependency injection support (See here )
Full async support
Parallel by default, with mechanisms to:
Run specific tests completely on their own
Run specific tests not in parallel with other specific tests
Limit the parallel limit on a per-test, class or assembly level
Test ordering (if running not in parallel)
Tests can depend on other tests to form chains, useful for if one test depends on state from another action
Easy to read assertions
Injectable test data via classes, methods, compile-time args, or matrices
Hooks before and after:
TestDiscover
TestSession
Assembly
Class
Test
Designed to avoid common pitfalls such as leaky test states
Ability to view and interrogate metadata and results from various assembly/class/test context objects
Installation dotnet add package TUnit --prerelease
Example test [Test]
public async Task Test1()
{
var value = "Hello world!";
await Assert.That(value).IsNotNull()
.And.IsEqualTo("hello world!", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase);
}
or with more complex test orchestration needs

Motivations TUnit is inspired by NUnit and xUnit - two of the most popular testing frameworks for .NET.
It aims to build upon the useful features of both while trying to address any pain points that they may have.
