Visual Studio 11 Beta was released today and one of the many cool new features is the Unit Test Explorer.

The Unit Test Explorer functions using a plugin model where it scans for test adapters and uses them to find and run tests. You can download adapters from the Visual Studio Gallery which currently hosts the xUnit.net, NUnit and Chutzpah adapters.

With the addition of the Chutzpah adapter Visual Studio 11 Beta can discover and execute QUnit and Jasmine unit tests. VS now provides a nice graphical interface to see and run the available tests.

The Chutzpah adapter is still very young and has much room for improvement but I wanted to get something out there early to get feedback. Feel free to provide feedback on the Chutzpah CodePlex page. Soon I will also be upgrading the standard Chutzpah Visual Studio plugin to VS 11 so you still have the option of a TestDriven.net type experience for JS tests.
