Re: Blog: Four Ways to test Expected Exceptions

Sorry for the cross-posting of the other note.

In the referenced blog entry, you mention that you "borrowed" the Assert
form of exception checking from xunit.net.  Are there any other features
of that framework that you plan on borrowing?  

I checked it out when it was first announced, and there didn't seem to
be anything there that would make me want to switch, though if I were
newly in the market for a testing framework, it would probably be at or
near the top of the list.  A good bit of it seems to be about *not*
doing some things, and frankly, it's just as easy for me to not do those
things in NUnit as it would be to switch to xunit.net and not do them.

The one that did jump out at me was the instantiation of a new object
for each test.  A quick tests reveals that NUnit does not do that, and
while I haven't run into any problems so far with side effects, I can
see where some sneaky things might slip through.  Again, since I haven't
had a problem, it's not likely to make me switch, but it does look like
a good idea.
