Writing ReSharper.TestDrive was kind of an exercise in tiny classes for me. I didn't TDD the whole thing because so much of it was just experimenting with ReSharper's mostly undocumented API and EnvDTE, though I did TDD a good portion of it after my initial spike. After I got a working prototype implemented I spent a lot of time refactoring it into tiny classes that for the most part follow the Single responsibility principle.

As this is the most code I've ever thrown out into the public at any one time and it was a bit of an experiment for me, I wanted to take this chance to ask the community to review my code. If you have the time, feel free to look over the code and tell me what you think. Likes/dislikes/hates/loves anything is fair game--feel free to rip on it. Maybe we'll get some interesting discussion out of it.

Note: You must have ReSharper 3.0.1 in order for this to work.

When you're doing TDD you'll create two classes every time you need one. You'll create one for the class itself and you'll create one for the tests for that class. ReSharper makes it a little bit easier by allowing you to write your tests and then alt+enter on your class under test to create it. Unfortunately it will create the class in your test project and not your project under test. It may actually create it in that same file (I don't remember) which means you have to Move to File. Then you have to drag it over to the project under test and/or change the namespace. Pretty obnoxious for something we have to do so often.

So... I decided to write a ReSharper plugin to do just that. It'll also create tests from a class under test (just in case you cheated and created your class first). Heck, it'll even create all the folders you need to.

This current version makes a few assumptions about your structure and it's not configurable at all unless you actually hit the code. Here are the assumptions it makes:

• The tests for Project.Foo live in Project.Foo.Tests.
• Test classes have the "Tests" suffix.
• Test classes live in the same namespace as the classes under test.
• The tests for ClassFoo are in ClassFooTests.

I lied when I said it wasn't configurable at all. After you've used it for the first time it will have created ReSharper file templates that you can edit to customize what is generated when you create a test or a class under test. Just go to ReSharper>Options>Templates>FileTemplates>User Templates>TestDrive.

To install it just extract it somewhere and run install.cmd, or just copy the dll to your %APPDATA%\JetBrains\ReSharper\v3.0\vs8.0\Plugins\Resharper.TestDrive (obviously you'll need ReSharper installed).

To use it, just have the cursor somewhere within a class that doesn't have a test, or a test that doesn't have a class under test and hit Alt+Enter, select Create X Tests... or create X... and hit enter. In order for the light bulb/alt+enter to show up it will need to be able to find an associated project to the one you're in (Sample.Project.Tests<->Sample.Project).

I've got more plans for this but I wanted to get it out there to see what you all thought. Oh, and in case you're wondering, Bunker is just a really light nearly feature-free IoC container that Jacob wrote in a day for another project we're working on.
