Why I Use Third Party Testing Tool in Visual Studio?

Question

Why would I use third party testing tool like NUnit,TestDriven.Net etc, when I have Visual Studio Test System (VSTS) unit-testing framework installed?

Other testing frameworks have more features, better tool support or a different interface that some developers may prefer. For example, NUnit has the TestCase attribute allowing multiple tests to be performed using the same test method. MSTest lacks this although it is possible to emulate it (see Does MSTest have an equivalent to NUnit's TestCase?).

See NUnit vs. MbUnit vs. MSTest vs. xUnit.net for more information.

That's atleast for NUnit. And my guess is that other unit-testing tools are made because of the same reason (extensibility)
