Smart Unit Tests - Test to Code Binding, Test Case Management

In an earlier post we had mentioned how Smart Unit Tests can emit a suite of tests for a given code-under-test, and how it can manage this test suite as the code-under-test itself evolves. For any given method serving as the code-under-test, the emitted test suite comprises of a "parameterized unit test" and one or more "generated unit tests", and the following figure illustrates the Pex* custom attributes used to identify the test-to-code binding, that in turn enables such management. These attributes are defined within the Microsoft.Pex.Framework namespace.
