Mostly I'm just trying to use the tools. I've just gotten used to with nant and nunit, having a quick check to make sure everything is ok. In nant, I just open a cmd into the nant directory and type bin\nant and away it goes. In NUnit, I open up the gui, find the test.dll say run, and away it goes. Currently, even with instructions from the experts I still can't get it to run. My goal is to be able to write up instructions that 10 out of 10 high school students can follow. I look at NAnt, NUnit and CruiseControl as being a really nice interwoven trio that define the whole continuing integration best practice. I'm more or less comfortable with NUnit, so now I'm moving on to NAnt to make sure that I can build my product on a regular basis. The problem is, as someone put it (somewhere on the nant wiki), "the documentation assumes you've been using nant for 40 years" My opinion is, that if we can make this such that the average high school student can set it up, build it and run it, then they will, as will a ton of other people and companies. However, in my company, if I can't show them results in 20 minutes (30 on the outside) they will dub it, "too difficult and expensive to maintain" and they will continue with their manual processes.
