Project Description
StatLight is a tool developed for automating the setup, execution, and gathering results of Silverlight unit tests. StatLight helps to speed up the feedback cycles while practicing TDD/BDD/(insert your test style here) during Silverlight development.

How does it work?

StatLight is a console application that creates an in memory web server. It starts up a web browser that will request from the web server a page containing your test xap. By executing all the tests in the browser and communicating test results back to the web server. The console now has the ability to publish those results in manners not allowed in the Silverlight sandbox.

Wish List

• Code Coverage - the Silverlight Toolkit has some preliminary code coverage for Silverlight - TODO: figure out how to integrate?
• CruiseControl.net plugin. See: CruiseControl.Net documentation page (it's it a little hacky - but it can work)
• Team Foundation Build plugin. http://statlightteambuild.codeplex.com
