This, by the way, means that with that tool suite you'll be able to step into a test that contains a \[Rollback\] Attribute and you'll be debugging inside a COM+ 1.5 transaction. Ain't that sweet? Thanks Peli and Jamie. You two guys have done more for the Unit Testing in .Net world than anyone else ever since Nunit came along. \-[Refactor!](http://devexpress.com/?section=/Products/NET/Refactor) for .Net is a new Addin from the creators of CodeRush.  Some of the features look really really cool. Now if I could only have my way and have all the Addins I know and love run **at the same time**: CodeSmart, C# Refactory, Resharper and CodeRush . Can you do that people? \-[DotNetToolPak](http://dotnettoolpak.com/) - combines several useful free tools into one installable package. The Regulator is one of them. I'm honored! \-YAUTT (Yet Another Unit Testing Tool): [Zanebug](http://www.adapdev.com/zanebug/)   _(via_ [_tdd.com_](http://www.testdriven.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=191)_)_ \-I just met [Alik Levin](http://xnetmentor.blogspot.com/) today at Microsoft and it was his first day there! **Congratulations** Alik :) Alik has been posting some great how-to movies in Hebrew about .Net on his blog. He also tells me that my name is doing the rounds at MS Israel. Now that can't be too bad, can't it? :) **How to stay updated after a vacation trip**: If you ever leave for a long long time and want to catch up on the blogsphere - Just go to [Larkware.com](http://www.larkware.com/) \- Mike Gunderloy picks up all the interesting tidbits throughout the day and blogs about them. A great way to stay informed, while reading sarcastic remarks from a cynical man about stuff you didn't think about.  All the news I just gave you came from his links. Great job Mike. Keep up the great writing (no. he's not paying me to write this) ## More in .Net Quotations [All posts in .Net Quotations](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-quotations) - Oct 12, 2004 ### [Introducing "Project Distributor" - your .Net file and idea sharing ground](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/10/12/introducing-quotproject-distributorquot-your-net-file-and-id.html) - Oct 7, 2004 ### [TDD brain teaser - hope I won](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/10/7/tdd-brain-teaser-hope-i-won.html) - Sep 21, 2004 ### [MbUnit 2.21.1.0 RC1 released (and some nifty nifty features!)](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/9/21/mbunit-22110-rc1-released-and-some-nifty-nifty-features.html) - Sep 19, 2004 ### [Alik Levin has a blog - with short Hebrew movies on various ASP.Net topics](https://osherove.com/blog/2004/9/19/alik-levin-has-a-blog-with-short-hebrew-movies-on-various-as.html) --- ## About the author **Roy Osherove**: Senior Solutions Architect at AWS working on AI for production and AI-driven development; author of The Art of Unit Testing and Elastic Leadership, with about 20 years of consulting and training on unit testing, TDD, team leadership and continuous delivery. ### Sites - [RobotPaper](https://robotpaper.ai/): This blog: AI patterns and anti-patterns, AI and coding agents, and engineering leadership. - [osherove.com](https://osherove.com): Roy's personal site.
