Unit Tests without leaving the keyboard

An article by Laurent Kempé 7 Comments

I like the Roy Osherove blog: Five Whys, Leadership in software teams.

Follow up on those two posts “How to measure programmer productivity using TDD Katas” or “Be Productive and Go Mouseless”. I would like to share a little keyboard shortcut which save me quite some time on my daily developments.

As you might know I am a fan of ReSharper and when I am doing Test Driven Development I hate having to switch from keyboard to mouse to run the test I just wrote. So searching for ReSharper Keyboard command I found Resharper_UnitTest_ContextRun which I assign to the Ctrl+Shift+<.

Now I can run the unit test I just wrote with just a combination of keys which are really near to each other so really easy!

The bonus of this command is that if I have the cursor in one unit test in a TestFixture class then it will run that particular test, but if I have the cursor out of any unit test method it will run all tests of that TextFixture. Very efficient!

Enjoy it!

Will I get lynched if I mention that in MSTest (ducks), you can do that too, by using the pre-mapped shortcuts Ctrl-R, Ctrl-T (executes test in the context in debug mode), Ctrl-R, T (executes test in the context in run mode), Ctrl-R, Ctrl-A (executes all tests in debug mode), Ctrl-R, A (executes all tests in run mode).

I know, I know, but still ;)
