# Extended Unit Test Attributes for Team System

By Roy Osherove December 5, 2006 In [Unit Testing](https://osherove.com/blog/category/unit-testing)

**Historical article** · Originally published December 5, 2006; technical details may be outdated.

[Justin Burtch just posted](http://jburtch.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!F1960C7173E954EA!285.entry) a handful of cool attributes that extend the basic testing attributes within Team System's unit test framework.

Some of those include

\[Rollback\] - to rollback DB changes after the test

\[TimedTest\] - fail if time expires

\[EnvironmentVariable\] - Set Env.. var to a value for the duration of the test

\[ParameterizedDataMethod\] - kinda like MbUnit RowTest

Very cool Justin!
