  1. Change Configuration Wizard defaults

    In the configuration wizard I always change to "run my tests alongside each other" and "lets my tests run".
    I would really appreciate a way to set this as defaults instead of always changing those (it is very simple to change during the wizard, yes I know, but still a bit annoying...)

  2. Add a performance view (or data export) to help find performance bottlenecks

    Give us access to the line-by-line performance/execution times data.
    I'd love to have it as a single view or even just a data export, so I can easily identify bottlenecks in my code.

  3. The ability to mass-unpin tests

    NCrunch is great, but there is one annoying thing in the GUI - there is no option to unpin (and pin) tests by right-clicking on the whole namespace (or even root namespace). You can only pin/unpin individual test methods or test classes.

  4. Separate Test Projects from Non-Test Projects in Metrics Window

    The Metrics Window shows code coverage so you can see how coverage your projects is getting from your tests.

    However this window is a little bit confusing as it show all projects, including test projects, as code coverage which is technically not accurate. It would be nice if it could segment projects that are tests and projects that are the code being tested so that the code being tested is reported as code coverage and the tests are showing as active tests code. As the code coverage metric on tests is really how much of the test are actively testing…

  5. Show number of tests in NCrunch Tests window

    There is no easy way to find out how many tests there are for an assembly or a namespace. Provide an option to display the number of tests for each node in the NCrunch Tests window. See the ReSharper Unit Tests window. It has that functionality, but I don't want to go there to see the number of tests.

  6. navigate to first compile failure

    reposting the original suggestion here as I'd love a keyboard shortcut that just went straight to the next compile error rather than having to click in the NCrunch test output window:

    Somewhat related to http://forum.ncrunch.net...keyboard-shortcuts.aspx .

    As above post states, ReSharper has a feature to navigate to next error in file, or next error in solution via keyboard shortcuts if that is enabled (resource intensive).

    Since NCrunch includes a continuous build runner, I would want to have a shortcut so I quickly can open the file which has the compile error.
    This way the "analyze errors in solution" can be…

    It would be great to have a central management point for our NCrunch licenses.

  8. No more notification for versions not covered by license.

    Stop continuously popping up notifications about (the same!) new versions if my license doesn't cover the new version. That's not helpful, it's basically sales spam.

  9. Remote server: Remember service settings for Grid Node Service during upgrade.

    v2.7.0.5

    I have a non administrator account NCrunch Grid Node Service is running under as well as a service dependency on SQL Server express.

    When upgrading these settings are reset to default values (e.g. Local System as the account service is running under).

    I would like my customized settings windows service settings to be kept during upgrades.

  10. Add possibility to expand/collapse multiple node levels in "NCRunch tests" window

    Problem: Today there is no way explode/collapse of tree nodes in the "NCrunch Tests" window (e.g. with +,-,* keys).

    Request: Add possibility to, in some way, expand/collapse multiple levels. It is very cumbersome today when you type something in filter and need to manually expand all test nodes one by one to see which tests are matching.

  11. standalone executable version for builds etc.

    There should be a standalone executable version of NCrunch to allow for build integration with the NCrunch grid. This will make builds run faster where there are a lot of tests, and will make NCrunch much more compelling for large businesses.

    Ideally this would also offer XML & JSON versions of the coverage report, removing businesses' reliance on NCover and saving them money.

  12. Add font configuration for output windows

    Allow configuration of the font used, specifically in the Test Results window, as the default is not the clearest for reading through stack traces in a test result output. This would either be built into the ncrunch config, or accessed via the Visual Studio fonts configuration section.

  13. Provide Debugging Support for Async/Await Methods

    Posted in response to: http://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postsm5589_does-not-exist-in-the-current-context.aspx#post5589

    It seems there are technical issues that limit the debugging experience of async/await methods when using NCrunch. Essentially the auto's, local's, and watch windows in visual studio cease to function properly when debugging async/await code when using NCrunch. Ideally, such technical issues could be overcome, but if that is not possible, the following would suffice:

    Add a debugging mode in NCrunch that does not add NCrunch instrumentation to the code. This would allow new debugging options such as 'Debug covering tests without instrumentation' and 'Break into first covering test without instrumentation'. This would allow the…

  14. Make "Custom Environment Variables" solution specific

    I have different environment variable settings for different solutions, thus I would want the setting in "Custom Environment Variables" not to be stored globally on my machine but instead specific per solution so I don't need to manually change them depending on solution used.

  15. Enhance "Impacted tests" filter

    The engine mode "Run impacted tests automatically, others manually" is a great idea, but nCrunch seems to think pretty much every test was impacted whenever I make any small change. This is most obviously wrong when I change one of the existing unit tests itself and then all other unit test run too. I realize that it is almost impossible to know for sure whether or not a given test has been impacted under all scenarios, but I would like a mode that has nCrunch error on the side of running less and thereby using fewer resources rather than erroring…

  16. Automatically resolve "lost project reference" when binary references are used

    When one project in a solution references an assembly that is the output of another project in the same solution (but does not use a Project Reference), NCrunch reports a "Possible 'lost' project reference" and is unable to trace unit test coverage in the referenced assembly.

    I would ask that NCrunch provide a means to "capture" that reference and allow NCrunch to see this as a project reference without having to modify the VS project files. Our build environment requires the use of direct assembly references and can't be modified to use project references, so the usefulness of NCrunch is…

  17. Remote server: Remember disconnected servers when reopening solution.

    (Originally from http://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst1180_Remote-server--Remember-disconnected-servers-when-reopening-solution.aspx )
    v2.6.0.3

    I would like my disconnected servers to stay disconnected until I tell NCrunch to connect, even if I am restarting vstudio etc. Currently disconnected servers are connected when reopening the solution and depending on engine mode start to run tests etc. which are not currently supported by that server.

    Which servers are enabled/disabled should preferably be saved in a solution user file config (versus global globalconfig.crunch.xml) so solution 1 may have server A and B enabled and solution 2 only server C etc.

  18. Separate ncrhunch project configuration from user setting for source control integration

    Currently there is *.NCrunchproject with both user settings and project configuration: what files are to deploy, what build configuration to use, etc...
    Once I set up and committed *.ncrunchproject files for 50+ projects, the files continued to change for my local environment: what tests to include, what warnings are disabled, etc...

    Idea is to separate Global Configuration from User settings, so we can add *.nchrunchconfig to repository, and *.ncrunchlocalsettings to ignore list.
