NUnitLite is a a lightweight test framework for .Net, based on a subset of NUnit's features.

Since it's introduction, NUnit has continued to add more features every year. While all these features have value, the result is that NUnit has become a bit complicated - at least for some purposes.

NUnitLite is deliberately kept very simple. It implements a fairly large subset of the features of the NUnit framework, without a lot of the overhead, uses minimal resources and will run under all versions of .NET, Mono and the .NET compact framework. If desired, its source code can be included in the test assembly itself.

The name NUnitLite is, of course, inspired by Mike Feathers' CppUnitLite.

With the release of version 1.0 of NUnitLite, the independent NUnitLite project is no longer being developed. Future development will be part of the NUnit 3.0 project, located at http://launchpad.net/nunit-3.0. The repository and bug data base here are therefore out of date, but are useful as history. Please do not file bugs against this project, as they will not be accepted.
