Six Different Ways To Execute Tests in Visual Studio 2008

 
 

I remember the 1st time I tried to kick-off a "unit test" from Visual Studio 2005. I had to defer to the Web, I couldn't figure it out. A year later and through everyday use of VS 2005 and VS 2008 I've slowly discovered various ways to get those tests rolling. Here are 6 different ways to start a test in Visual Studio 2008:
