TestMatrix Inline Test Running

TestMatrix has a great feature that allows a user to run a test while in the Visual Studio environment.  By right-clicking in a file, on the file, a folder, or using the Test Explorer tool window, a developer can run a unit test and see the color-coded results in the test file (through a highlighting in the left sidebar) or in the test explorer.

What makes it nice is that a user can run a unit test and view the results directly in the open window.  I like being able to execute tests at a folder level, because I am often working in a specific folder at one time, working on the code and the tests.  Plus, the visualization makes it more clear, and it has an icon that appears in the side that shows the error.

Furthermore, code coverage icons state what code wasn't hit, and what code took the longest to run.

We've recently released the 2.0 version of TestMatrix with a lot of new feature, including support for frameworks other than NUnit. We've also made a free product (StudioTools) that includes all the handy navigation tools.
