CategoryAttribute (NUnit 2.2)
The Category attribute provides an alternative to suites for dealing with groups
of tests. Either individual test cases or fixtures may be identified as
belonging to a particular category. Both the gui and console test runners allow
specifying a list of categories to be included in or excluded from the run.
When categories are used, only the tests in the selected categories will be
run. Those tests in categories that are not selected are not reported at all.
This feature is accessible by use of the /include and /exclude arguments to the
console runner and through a separate "Categories" tab in the gui. The gui
provides a visual indication of which categories are selected at any time.
