Zanebug – A Rambling Review

Zanebug by Sean
McCormak is Yet Another Unit Test Framework, but provides some very nice
features.  Built in event monitoring, test timings, the ability to run tests
multiple times, and a better Console report than round
out the features.

The 1.4.4 Beta version that I am running is nice to use, but does show it’s status
as a Beta.  The UI doesn’t update as frequently or smoothly as it should, the
main screen could use some more info on the tests, the settings don’t stay from one
test run to another, but the overall idea and quality is there.

I am using this test app because I wanted to test some timings on a data API’s functions. 
The one thing that I think this app could REALLY use is the ability to flag a [Test]
as multi-thread-able.  That would allow me to really stress this data layer,
but as it is, I had to write the threading into the test itself and therefore the
GUI does not report back on the timings for each thread.

I guess that is a “would be nice”, but it would be really nice.

Overall, I’d give it a look.  You don’t even have to change your NUnit test DLLs,
just run them in the new app.  You’ll get a lot more feedback than you are
used to seeing from NUnit.
