Support unit testing frameworks
It'd be great to be able to use this for unit tests. Specifically, I think support for NUnit and XUnit would be very useful.

We could create another Project type (NUnit for ex). If it is selected, Code would be divided into 2 sections: Code and Tests. Code would have the classes you need to test and Tests would have NUnit TestFixture class. Then when u run it – Output would show lists of tests and red/green next to them. Would that work? Please comment.

For a fiddle, I think it is enough to have test and code in the same window.
Just like the Main function now, but with a test framework class and a succeeding test in the template instead. -

It would be very useful to improving TDD practices on every day basis.

I sort of got NUnit working in that if the test passes, you get nothing back - else you get the error!

My main concern was the ability to drop in tests and code in the same file and then run them and get some sort of results. I hadn't considered splitting up the code and tests, although that would make it nice and clean. Overall, that recommendation sounds excellent.

Very much agree. Great to demo this in lunch and learns etc and just drop some test code in, get a red build then flesh out your test method.
