This very cool framework is getting a facelift with some very very very nifty features.

I'm seriously considering doing my next projects with this framework. I just need some real world hands on time with it to make sure. Anyone has any such experience already?

**New features**

- **TestDriven.NET integration:** [MbUnit](http://mbunit.tigris.org/ "MbUnit, Generating Unit Testing and Model Based Testing Framework for .NET Framework") is now shipped with TD.NET (see Download instructions below) and fully integrated with it.
