Title Body

I have a set of base tests that are used to test multiple implementations of a interface. The way I modelelled this was by creating a base text fixture with a [Ignore] attribute. [TestFixture] [Ignore] public class BaseTests { // Use your imagination for the actual name public virtual ITestableThing GetConcrete() { return null; } // All of my unit tests here } And then I write a subclass for each interface implementation: public class ConcreteThingTests : BaseTests { public override ITestableThing GetConcrete() { return new ConcreteThing(); } } This works well, as I have all of the tests for ALL implementations in one place, and the sub classes just specify the implementation. The problem is that I have to put the [Ignore] attribute on the base class, or NUnit will try to run the tests (and fail). Because of this, my test results are always cluttered up with a set of Ignored tests, and while it's not a big deal, I thought there might be a better pattern for this that avoids having to ignore tests. So, am I implementing test fixture inheritance wrong?
