visual studio - How do I start unit testing?

Question

I know that unit testing is desirable, and I am interested in doing unit testing. The only problem is I have no idea how, or even where to start really. So my question is: How do I learn about and start unit testing? Specifically I frequently write Java code in NetBeans and C# code in Visual Studio and am interested in what tools to use and how to get my feet wet. Can anyone offer any advice for an absolute unit testing n00b?

I know that there are a lot of somewhat similar questions out there but I am less interested in why and more interested in how.

Answer 1

Try to read on StackOverflow, tag unit-testing :)

• Is Unit Testing worth the effort?
• How to make junior programmers write tests?
• What is unit testing?
• How do you know what to test when writing unit tests?

Another entry point would be the tags junit and nunit

There are lots of question dealing this.

If you're searching books about Unit Testing, try this thread: Good C# Unit testing book. There the famous Kent Beck book is mentioned, "Test Driven Development By Example".
It's worth reading!

Good luck!
