MS Unit test and CruiseControl.Net integration

Hi All,

We are currently running continous integration using a server running
cruise control.net. This server does not have VS2005 installed on it,
only the .Net framework.

Previously, we have been using Nunit to write our tests but I thought I
would give the integrated MS unit test a go and submitted these test to
source control.... Which has broken the build because the
Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework dll is not
present on the server....

So my question is, can you run MS unit tests as part of an automated
build process without having a full install of VS2005 on the
integration server?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if you can do this, but we looked at TeamSuite and decided not
to go there just yet. Since we're not going there NUnit is still the best,
especially when you use TestDriven.Net. (You can't run a MS Test in debug).
NUnit works great with VS2K5 Pro and CCNet easily builds the MSBuild.

Guess I'm saying: I wouldn't go down the TeamSuite path until your ready to
go all the way.
