I used the personal edition of TestDriven.NET plugin for Visual Studio and it is kinda convenient. The feature I like the most is that I can right click inside a unit test method and select run unit test or debug unit test.

I am using NUnit for my project and cannot use the personal edition of TestDriven.NET. I have used the NUnit GUI, but I have to run unit tests outside of VS, and there is not way for me to step into the unit test in debug mode.

Any other free/open source plugins like TestDriven.NET? Thanks. My guess is that there are none, but would like to hear before I give it up.

Are you talking about Resharper or TestDriven.net or both?

You sound like a salesperson of ReSharper. Just kidding. Yes, I've used both Resharper and TestDriven.NET, and I like both of them.

So, are you saying that the step-into capability for unit tests in debug mode within VS comes from Resharper instead of TestDriven.NET?

I am not allowed to install my personal editions on employers' computers just because they are personal editions.

I have gallio, but it doesn't give me the capability to right-click inside a unit test and run/debug it, does it? Clarify please. I've used ICarus, but whenever I run in debug mode, it crashes. No hope.
