Create standalone executable from VS2008 test project

Is it possible to run an assembly created by a Visual Studio test project outside of Visual Studio itself?
I would like to create a test application that should run also on machines where VS is not installed and get a (graphical) report of the test results.

EDIT Looking at the post provided in the accepted answer, and looking at the answer to this post ... I concluded that the answer to this question is "NUnit".

Check MsTest . You can use it or roll your own code as a test harness around assemblies. But if you want to use a graphical interface and legally use MSTEST, you will need a Visual Studio license on the machine on which you will run the tests.



You can use MsTest without the VS . but I don't know how "legal" it is at your own risk.

I don't know if this is possible, how you describe it.

If you are using Team Foundation Server, you can create a Report to display the status of your latest Continuous Integration (or Nightly) build, where you can display the test results in any way you like.



One example here: TFS report

This way, anyone can access and view the test results through a web browser, Visual Studio, or Team System Web Access (which is again a web browser). This way, users with and without Visual Studio get the same report view.
