NFluent aims your tests to be fluent to write (with a super-duper-happy 'dot' auto-completion experience), fluent to read (i.e. as close as possible to plain English expression), but also fluent to troubleshoot, in a less-error-prone way comparing to the classical .NET test frameworks. NFluent is also directly inspired by the awesome Java FEST Fluent assertion/reflection library (http://fest.easytesting.org/) -

Also, there are a couple of projects under [sln/test/Samples/](./sln/test/Samples) path, [SampleSpecs](./sln/test/Samples/SampleSpecs) and [SampleSpecsFocus](./sln/test/Samples/SampleSpecsFocus). Those are part of main NSpec solution, needed when testing NSpec itself, and contain several mixed examples of NSpec test classes.
