Any good books for Unit Testing?

hey there,

i will try to answer this in the following manner:

1. there are a lot of good Unit Testing Tutorials, not books, books are pointless in my eyes for developers since our life are much more complex and fast then any book editor can work along,
here is my favorite tutorial:

http://www.csunit.org/tutorials/tutorial7/

2. you are very much currect regarding VSTS unit testing, but the fact is that it costs money, and a lot and not all people can afford it, NUnit is free and very advanced, and fully integrated into Visual Studio/Eclipse and more Dev Tools, and can even run in stand alone mode. i will try to explain this on a differant view, say you want to have a build machine running all Unit Tests on each build, those VSTS unit tests are nice but wont help unless you have Visual Studio Team Build Server.

if you have any openSource Build Server, they all support NUnit as part of the build process.

hope it helps
