See also: Notes on Unit Testing with MSTest

Key points:

• Use unit tests as both design documentation and functional specifications.
• Visual Studio installs the Microsoft unit testing frameworks for managed and native code (MSTest).
  • Note: MSTest is both a framework and an adapter to that framework.
• Visual Studio Test Explorer also supports 3rd-party adapters to the MSTest framework: xUnit, NUnit, others(?).
