Via Rob Caron’s awesome list of Visual Studio Team System resources I came across Sam Guckenheimer’s presentation about Designing for User Experience in Visual Studio Team Systems which had the following gem. 

Apparently the VSTS design team visited a major bank where a bunch of managers assured them that unit testing was a standard team practice.  However, after doing a 4 hour contextual interview with a developer the interviewer asked how they did unit testing to which the developer replied:

Haven’t you seen me? I’ve been doing it all along – every time I press F5 that’s unit testing.

Brilliant!  This beats the time when I was assured that a team were ‘100% into Unit Testing’ only to find that all of the NUnit tests were set to Ignore.
