@bmw0128 - any day. xUnit may be better but the builtin one is a pita imho.

+5 A:

There are at least these

xUnit.net - probably the newest and most modern of these four, it leverages a lot of experience from using previous frameworks to makes things simpler and more open.
NUnit - originally a port from JUnit
MBUnit
MSTest - Built-in in Visual Studio Professional (IIRC) and up

+1 for NUnit here

I would shy away from the built-in unit test framework that comes with VS 2008 (MSTest). We've been using it on our project over the last 2 years and it's been painful (there is a background test discovery feature that causes the UI to lockup for periods of time occasionally and it adds significant time to every single recompile).+1 to xUnit for me.

+1 A:

If you develop c++ apps with visual studio I can recommend cppunit for unit testing which is a direct port of junit.
