(Similar to https://ncrunch.uservoice.com/forums/245203-feature-requests/suggestions/5689966-display-test-output-in-text-window-on-button-clic )

I sometimes work from home with 1 monitor and at work with 3 monitors. I also tend to like having test output in a less "important" place than the tests themselves.
With vstudio2015 the split setting (bottom or right) is not restored via the windows layout feature.
if test output was a separate window I can choose to place/dock it wherever I like (and also restore/save its position).

It would helpful to have an option where NCrunch does not start building the project and running tests until after I save the file. We've had some issues with this in a project I was on that had several thousand unit tests. This would be similar to the way Karma's auto-file watcher works for JavaScript unit testing.

I'm aware of the sliding building delay - and it can help - but I feel it'd be better to just provide an option to not start processing until I save a file.

I would love to just pause ncrunch at times instead of enabling and disabling which causes the solution to be rescanned again.

NCrunch should offer a VS toolbar to make switching between engine modes quicker (and visible). It's an often-used function and is tedious to do it through the menu.

NCRunch should pause while NuGet is installing or updating packages. There is no good reason to run tons of tests hogging most of the workstation performance while the solution is in an inconsistent and temporary state. Ncrunch running tests severely impacts the time it takes updates and installs to run.

PS: Resharper does this so I know it's possible :)

Having up to date support for many different testing frameworks is no-doubt a lot of work. The result is that some frameworks are not supported to their full or simply not popular enough to justify adding support.

If an integration SDK was made available, it would allow third party frameworks (or interested users) to add support. This would allow for even niche frameworks the opportunity to be fully supported.

Note that this isn't the same thing as the enging mode not having a Category automatically run, etc. See http://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postsm6015_Ignore-categories-of-tests.aspx for more info.

It would be awsome if NCrunch could add support for C/C++ (or at least C++ CLI)

The output of the console runner contains HTML and raw xml reports.

The HTML report is nice, however the contents of the XML files is a bit too detailed to get statistics from it.

It would be nice to have the same kind of data that is in the HTML file but in XML form (meaning, the % coverage per method/class/assembly/global). Something similar to the DotCover XML or JSON reports. In fact if the format was exactly the same as the dotcover reports we could leverage tools that can already process these files, like SonarQube.

Allow user to exclude files from Metrics Aggregation by wildcard. As an example, I'd like to exclude all *Designer.cs files from being counted.

I can't justify paying for NCrunch to volunteer on a FOSS project.

ReSharper does this.

I almost always develop on a laptop - but sometimes while travelling, and sometimes plugged in. I'd like NCrunch to automatically disable itself when I'm on battery power - it does suck energy like crazy - and then re-enable itself when I'm back on the grid.

I have fairly non trivial engine modes with test filters set. I want to create a new engine mode based on existing but only tweak e.g. a condition in the filter.
It would help a lot if could copy an existing engine mode and tweak it instead of re-doing the entire filter.

Its a must for remote grid nodes

Put an Edit button in the Additional Files to Include dialog which is opened from the NCrunch Configuration window.

Would allow you to edit the path of an existing entry in the list, just now I have to remove and then re-add which is a little frustrating.

MSpec supports Custom delegates.

Currently NCrunch seems hardcoded to "It", it would be great to support also custom delegates annotated with the AssertDelegate-Attribute

Right now when the build is failing the line indication is that the test is failing. Technically, it is true. For the developer however, a failing running test, and a non compiling tests require different responses.

The spinner shows when the build is failing, but is in a very inaccessible placement on the far bottom right. This is not a place that we're used to looking at.

It would be much better, in my opinion, to have the line-dot color change to indicate build failure in addition to the spinner.
