SSW Rules to Better Unit Tests

Adam Cogan of SSW Australia contacted a colleague of my mine, Jeff Beehler, with a request to review some Unit Test guidelines his company published. I took a look and they appear to be good ideas, well documented, and is presented cleanly an concisely. A good quick read. I found the idea of letting your end customer run the unit tests (and easily through the UI) to be relatively unique and intriguing. What do you think? Of course, I'd personally recommend Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Testers or Developers to run the unit tests, not only because I may be a bit biased, but I believe there is much more offered than NUnit. However, I can see his point that if you're going to let your users run the unit tests, using a free program to do so is advantageous.
