Unit Testing

JetBrains Rider helps discover and run, debug, cover, or profile unit tests. The following unit testing frameworks are supported:

• NUnit 2.6.2 and later. JetBrains Rider installation includes 2 bundled versions of NUnit test runners (2.6.4 and 3.6.1). You can choose one or both of them, or specify a local installation of NUnit on the Build, Execution, Deployment | Unit Testing | NUnit page of JetBrains Rider settings Ctrl+Alt+S.

• MSTest V1 (Windows only, requires Visual Studio installed), V2 (.NET Core, xplat)

• xUnit

With JetBrains Rider, you can execute a single unit test, all tests in a test class, file, project or solution. You can also execute any number of tests combined in a test session.

Besides running and debugging unit tests, you can analyze code coverage of unit tests and run performance profiling of unit tests.

Before running coverage analysis or performance profiling, make sure that the PDB information exists for all target assemblies. The safest choice would be to build your code with the Debug build configuration.
