    Unit testing: I personally use FsUnit, specifically FsUnit.Xunit. There's some other libraries like Expecto and Hedgehog (property testing), but I haven't found a reason to use them. I recently started experimenting a little with Hedgehog. FsUnit integrates well into Visual Studio, since it sits nicely on top of NUnit and xUnit, and it's done everything I've needed so far.

NFluent aims your tests to be fluent to write (with a super-duper-happy 'dot' auto-completion experience), fluent to read (i.e. as close as possible to plain English expression), but also fluent to troubleshoot, in a less-error-prone way comparing to the classical .NET test frameworks. NFluent is also directly inspired by the awesome Java FEST Fluent assertion/reflection library (http://fest.easytesting.org/)
