NUnit 4 Framework

Follow NUnit Slack NUnit issues marked with "help wanted" label NUnit issues marked with "good first issue" label

NUnit is a unit-testing framework for all .NET languages. It can run on macOS, Linux and Windows operating systems. NUnit can be used for a wide range of testing, from unit testing with TDD to full fledged system and integration testing. It is a non-opinionated, broad and deep framework with multiple different ways to assert that your code behaves as expected. Many aspects of NUnit can be extended to suit your specific purposes.

The latest version, version 4, is an upgrade from the groundbreaking NUnit 3 framework. It is a modernized version, aimed at taking advantage of the latest .NET features and C# language constructs.

If you are upgrading from NUnit 3, be aware of the breaking changes. Please see the NUnit 4 Migration Guide and take care to prepare your NUnit 3 code before you do the upgrade.

Package Downloads
SpecFlow.NUnit

Package to use SpecFlow with NUnit 3.13 and later
AutoFixture.NUnit3

By leveraging some features of NUnit3, this extension turns AutoFixture into a declarative framework for writing unit tests. In many ways it becomes a unit testing DSL (Domain Specific Language).
Xamarin.UITest

UI Automation Framework for testing Android and iOS apps.
Microsoft.Playwright.NUnit

Playwright enables reliable end-to-end testing for modern web apps. This package brings in additional helpers and fixtures to enable using it within NUnit.
NUnitLite

NUnitLite provides a simple way to run NUnit tests, without the overhead of a full NUnit installation. It is suitable for projects that want to have a quick way to run tests using a console runner and don't need all the features of the NUnit engine and console runner. Supported platforms: - .NET Framework 4.6.2+ - .NET 6.0+ How to use this package: 1. Create a console application for your tests and delete the generated class containing Main(). 2. Install the NUnitLite package, which creates a new Main() as well as adding a reference to NUnitLite. This will also bring in the NUnit package, which adds a reference to the NUnit framework to your project. 3. Add your tests to the test project and simply start the project to execute them.
