<h2>Running Tests</h2>
<p>Nunit provides three different runners, which may be used to load and
run your tests.
<ul>
<li>The <a href="nunit-console.html">console runner</a>,
nunit-console.exe, is used for batch execution.
<li>The <a href="nunit-gui.html">gui runner</a>, nunit.exe,
provides interactive loading and running of tests.
<li>The <a href="pnunit.html">pNUnit runner</a>,
pnunit-launcher.exe, is used to run parallel, distributed tests under the
control of pNUnit.
</ul>
<h3>Third-Party Runners</h3>
<p>Various third-party applications are available for loading and running
NUnit tests. Some of these actually use NUnit to load the tests, while
others provide their own emulation and may not work in the same way
that NUnit does.
<p>Because the status of such projects may change from time to time, we don't
discuss them individually here. For the latest information, consult the
manufacturer of any third-party software or ask other users on our
<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/nunit-discuss">discussion list</a>.
