MaxtimeAttribute (NUnit 2.5)

The MaxtimeAttribute is used on test methods to specify a maximum time in milliseconds for a test case. If the test case takes longer than the specified time to complete, it is reported as a failure.

Example

[Test, Maxtime(2000)]
public void TimedTest()
{
    ...
}

Notes:

  1. Any assertion failures take precedence over the elapsed time check.
  2. This attribute does not cancel the test if the time is exceeded. It merely waits for the test to complete and then compares the elapsed time to the specified maximum. If you want to cancel long-running tests, see TimeoutAttribute.
