#summary A (tentative) break-down of the MbUnit Framework's feature set into modules.

= Core Modules =

 * Gallio
  Not technically a part of MbUnit but provides the basic foundation.

 * MbUnit.Framework
  Essential framework attributes and functionality such as [Test], [TestFixture], and Assert.

 * MbUnit.Model
  The code data model for the MbUnit Framework.  The MbUnit Framework model extends the basic Gallio test model with additional elements to handle data binding and setup/teardown concerns.

 * MbUnit.Attributes
  The basic custom attributes from which the framework is constructed.  They provide a pattern for extending MbUnit with new declaratively specified behavior.

= Extension Modules =

 * MbUnit.Framework.Data
  Database testing extensions including [Rollback], data generators (eg. TestFu), and tabular data sources.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Xml
  Xml testing extensions including XmlAssert.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Reflection
  Reflection helpers.

= Tentative Modules =

_Don't read too much into this list.  These are just rough ideas for modules and they may change as MbUnit evolves._

 * MbUnit.Framework.Integration
  Integration testing extensions.  May include support for explicit test ordering, test scheduling, environmental configuration, etc.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Performance
  Performance testing extensions.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Load
  Load / Stress testing extensions.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Coordination
  Concurrent test coordination extensions.  May include primitives used for representing agents interacting within a stateful system to simulate load profiles.  Might also provide some kind of persistence mechanism for resumable tests.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Web
  Web testing extensions.  May need to be broken down by technology platform (eg. WebForms, MVC, MonoRail).

 * MbUnit.Framework.Web.WatiN
  Out-of-the-box WatiN integration.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Mocks
  Out-of-the-box Rhino.Mocks integration.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Forms
  WinForms testing extensions.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Process
  Cross-process testing extensions.  Might provide some kind of automation facilities for console and GUI applications.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Scripting
  Scripting extensions to support scenarios that are managed through MbUnit but aren't really tests.  For example, might provide a [Script] attribute to distinguish a script from a test and present it differently in the GUI.

 * MbUnit.Framework.Configuration
  Support for configurable tests.
