FitNesse is a great Web-based collaboration tool for software testing, which can really help to test- drive the code and build a framework for holding the project together during big changes and re- factoring.

Both FitNesse and FIT are open-source tools, and together they are very popular as a testing framework in the Java community. Although FitNesse supports testing .Net code, some things don’t quite work out of the box or do not follow official on-line documentation. However, the integration is stable, and I guarantee that the effort required to start using FitNesse is worth it.
