NUnit Test Attribute Execution Order
by
I went looking to find the order in which NUnit executes the test attributes/events. Oddly enough, I couldn’t find it. (Maybe I’m not googling it properly.)
Anyway, here’s the NUnit attribute event order:
- TestFixtureSetUp
- SetUp
- Test
- TearDown
- Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for each test that’s being run in this fixture.
- TestFixtureTearDown

Well, TunaBomber, that’s the theory. But in reality, the impact on productivity of that is just too much of a cost for keeping a purist approach. I just tired of having to add massive set-up and tear-down to each test in order to compensate for a lack of support for ordered execution in NUnit GUI. So went searching for a way around… At least I learned the diff between SetUp and TestFixtureSetUp – thanks Ben.
