I really need to take a look at [this tool](http://www.adapdev.com/zanebug). For now - here's the announcement of the newest version. Feel free to comment your thoughts on this toos on this post.

_"Greetings!_

_To bring in the New Year, a new version of Zanebug has just been released!!_

_For those that don't know - Zanebug is a free, NUnit compatible, feature-rich unit testing tool with a great UI and cool performance metrics._

_Changes since 1.4.1 (and a very brief 1.4.2) include:_

_\- Full support for NUnit 2.2_

_\- Command line version is now available_

_\- Enhanced run-time editing (category, expected exception, etc.)_

_\- Ability to run multiple tests at once (command line version only - will be added to GUI version in next release)_

_\- Selected tests are remembered across assembly reloads (no need to recheck / uncheck)_

_\- Added well-formatted text summary (and the ability to save summary)_

_\- Improved Xml output_

_\- Tons of refactoring_

_\- Greatly improved shadow copying and AppDomain functionality_

_\- Enhanced API_

_\- Bug fixes_

_\-- Fixed the "File X or one of its dependencies could not be found"_

_\-- Fixed the issue w/ custom Exceptions not being recognized within the ExpectedException attribute_

_I'm currently working on the next release, which will include:_

_\- VS.NET integration_

_\- HTML Reports_

_\- Plugin architecture_

_\- Developer's Guide_

_Please visit the Zanebug homepage for the latest download and documentation:_

_Also, I'm always interested in feedback, feature requests, or any bugs that you encounter. Feel free to email me!_

_Sincerely,_
