About xUnit.net
xUnit.net is a unit testing tool for .NET developers who write tests in C#, F# or Visual Basic. It is free, open source and built around a community of contributors.
What it does
xUnit.net runs your unit tests from the .NET command line, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider. Tests are ordinary methods marked with attributes such as Fact, and the results show which checks passed and which failed. Version 3 supports .NET 8.0 and later, as well as .NET Framework 4.7.2 and later, so it fits both new and older projects.
