Excellent!  Read all about it.

One great feature is the “generic test”, which lets you run an external app as a test. This should help cut-over time from existing apps like NUnit to the new framework.

Update: Jesse Ezell points to a bunch of screen-capture demos showing off the new features of VS 2005, including three test demos. Great to see this stuff in action. These demos show:

  • Load testing a web app
    • Adding perf counters
    • Setting a number of testing parameters
    • Adding rules/validations 
    • Smart counters that display warning and critical threshholds
    • Binding input parameters to a database
    • And much, much more!
  • Library tests
    • Things you're already doing with NUnit
    • Code coverage

Note that at least one of these requires a TechSmith codec, available for download here.

Update #2: It just keeps getting better! More testing screencap demos here.
