# Some real world unit testing techniques for ASP.Net with Cassini

By Roy Osherove December 2, 2004

**Historical article** · Originally published December 2, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

Scott Hanselman writes [This fine blog post](http://www.hanselman.com/blog/default.aspx?date=2004-11-30) about how they do real-world unit testing for their ASP.Net applications using the [cassini](http://asp.net/Projects/Cassini/Download/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1) web server. Not being an web developer myself this is a great resource to learn from. Scott does a fine job of exposing his methods to make the tests self contained to be run on a build server not even requiring IIS installed to be able to run. very nice.
