I would say, the topic is too big for a Quick Answer. To start with, I would advise your to read all articles on software testing in Wikipedia.

I think you need to get more familiar with what formal software testing, and unit testing, is; Marc Clifton, one of CodeProject's MVP's, and long-time major contributor, has just published an excellent free e-book through SyncFusion titled: "Unit Testing Succinctly" which you can download here: [^].

I wonder how a tool for "software testers" would be different from a tool for "software developers;" if you have some specific ideas on that, I wish you would add them to your original post. One reason (among many) for having "live" human testers is to stress-test software in development by doing strange/unexpected/crazy things with the program: did you have that in mind ?

software testers: i mean a specific team for testing a project coded by another team.
software developers: i mean the same team who coded the project, tested it after finishing the code.
i searched and found that nunit do it.

A team testing a project they didn't create, but who are programmers (who can write unit tests), and have access to the code, and can change/edit/fix the code, is one thing. A team of programmers testing only the running application with no access to code (but able to run the unit tests written automatically by software, or written by the programming team that created the project) is another thing. And a team of typical end-users testing the running application is yet another reality.

You need to clarify which of these scenarios you have in mind (all of them ? other scenario not mentioned here ?). cheers, Bill

Please see my comment to the question. First of all, you need to get a bit familiar with the field, at least, to know the terminology. In fact, it's good to learn a bit about all invented approached for software testing. And then you need to decide what types of testing you are going to implement. And only then look for some tools.

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_testing[^] (and look through all referenced articles, recursively ;-));
there is a whole portal on the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Software_testing[^];
review the tools:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_management_tools[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_automation_management_tools[^].
