Hey, have any of you messed with NCrunch? It's a continuous testing tool
for VS. http://www.ncrunch.net/. There's a little video on there that is a
nice demo of what it does. Looks frackin awesome really. There's also a
tool called Giles, but I wasn't as impressed with that one -- the good part
about Giles though is that it's not dependent on the IDE. OTOH, I don't
know anyone who builds c# without VS2010, so the value is dubious.

The point is that Giles (started by Jeff Schumacher, awesome dev where I
used to work who's always fighting to remove the barrier that VS often is)
can be used in almost every practical environment and also works well in a
build server scenario.

The problem w/ tight integration with VS tooling is that it often breaks
having honest Continuous Integration and makes Continuous Deployment almost
impossible. Thus Giles, where we worked, was perfect since we needed to
keep a solidly clean build server, a lean dev environment (we used VS, but
it looked more like TextMate w/ ReSharper abilities than it did Visual
Studio...) and of course heavy TDD in the course of a day's work. :)

Anyway, just wanted to add some context around Giles. I haven't played with
ncrunch yet either, I might soon though as I'm actually doing some work
with .NET MVC Web API to serve up services to a Node.js App.
