NUnitEx – for more readable assertions

 
http://code.google.com/p/nunitex/wiki/SyntaxOverview
Just as an example – ProfessionalControllerTest.
Index_IntegerAsParameter_ReturnsProfessionalView() used to have the following Assertions:
        Assert.AreEqual("Index", viewResult.ViewName);
        Assert.IsNotNull(viewResult.ViewData.Model);
        Assert.IsInstanceOf<ProfessionalProfile>(viewResult.ViewData.Model);
This is now written as
       viewResult.ViewName.Should().Be.EqualTo("Index");
       viewResult.ViewData.Model.Should().Not.Be.Null().And.Be.InstanceOf<ProfessionalProfile>();
