This does not happen automatically.  First, you must download and install the third party framework.

Examples:

xUnit:  <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.codeplex.com/xunit">http://www.codeplex.com/xunit</a>

NUnit:  <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.nunit.org">http://www.nunit.org</a>

Simply installing a third party unit testing framework may not be sufficient.  If your third party unit testing framework does not show up by itself, then you will likely find this article helpful:

<a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://quickstarts.asp.net/previews/mvc/mvc_AddingCustomTestFramework.htm">quickstarts.asp.net/.../mvc_AddingCustomTestFramework.htm</a>

Note:  your preferred third party testing framework may not easily support both c# and vb.

Note:  not all versions of Visual Studio 2008 directly support unit testing.  This applies specifically to the "Express" versions and also to the "Standard" version.  It may be possible to use your third party unit testing framework with such versions but you'll likely have to do some additional "coding by hand" to get the same benefit that may get done for you automatically by a unit testing template that is integrated with the remaining versions of VS2008.

I hope Microsoft will make it easy to use TDD with the "Express" and "Standard" versions of Visual Studio 2008 since one of the pillars of the asp.net mvc framework is to support test driven development as Stephen mentions at the beginning of this video.

Gerry (Lowry)

I have a question.  How does the test pass on returning the details view, when no actual details view existed in the project?  

You created the products controller, but never the veiw, so is this truly a useful test?

After few days, my team will be started MVC web application with TDD(first time). So, i just have few days to decide, i don't want to change unit-testing framework during development, due to any restriction of testing framework.

As i think, unit-testing framework is most import part of TDD.

@Stephen, I really expects some good suggestions from you, as you are demonstrating MVC with TDD.

But the typeing in C# is stronger. In the TestDetailsRedirect we're looking for a RedirectToRouteResult but just sticking this in this won't work because the return from controller.Details in C# is typed as a ViewResult. You can't get two different return types out of a C# method so how do you impliment the RedirectToRouteResult to redirect the error?

I however had a problem trying out the example in this video, in the second round of tests having to do with ViewData(TestDetailsViewData) i couldnt get it to pass i kept getting an error stating that " Type 'Product' is not defined." I would appreciate if anyone could help out

Thanks

This increases productivity in unit testing which is a must for any coder. The test driven development idea in MVC is even greater. Very nice.
