		<h1>NUnit Acceptance Tests</h1>
		<p>
		Developers love self-referential programs! Hence, NUnit has always run all it's 
		own tests, even those that are not really unit tests.
		<p>Now, beginning with NUnit 2.4, NUnit has top-level tests using Ward Cunningham's 
			FIT framework. At this time, the tests are pretty rudimentary, but it's a start 
			and it's a framework for doing more.
			<h2>Running the Tests</h2>
		<p>Open a console or shell window and navigate to the NUnit bin directory, which 
			contains this file. To run the test under Microsoft .Net, enter the command
			<pre>    runFile NUnitFitTests.html TestResults.html .</pre>
			To run it under Mono, enter
			<pre>    mono runFile.exe NUnitFitTests.html TestResults.html .</pre>
			Note the space and dot at the end of each command. The results of your test 
			will be in TestResults.html in the same directory.
			<h2>Platform and CLR Version</h2>
			<table BORDER cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="5">
				<tr>
					<td colspan="2">NUnit.Fixtures.PlatformInfo</td>
				</tr>
			</table>
			<h2>Verify Unit Tests</h2>
		<p>
		Load and run the NUnit unit tests, verifying that the results are as expected. 
		When these tests are run on different platforms, different numbers of tests may 
		be skipped, so the values for Skipped and Run tests are informational only.
		<p>
		The number of tests in each assembly should be constant across all platforms - 
		any discrepancy usually means that one of the test source files was not 
		compiled on the platform. There should be no failures and no tests ignored.
		<p><b>Note:</b>
		At the moment, the nunit.extensions.tests assembly is failing because the 
		fixture doesn't initialize addins in the test domain.

			<h2>Code Snippet Tests</h2>
		<p>
		These tests create a test assembly from a snippet of code and then load and run 
		the tests that it contains, verifying that the structure of the loaded tests is 
		as expected and that the number of tests run, skipped, ignored or failed is 
		correct.
