I am not able to run the unit tests in Visual Studio 2013 like I used to be able to run it from the Visual Studio window itself in Visual Studio 2010. I am not able to find anything in NuGet Package Manager or on the web.

    Note there is an NUnit test runner add-in which you download via *Tools|Extensions and Updates* - the problem which as you've discovered this doesn't work in Express editions] – Ruben Bartelink Feb 02 '14 at 07:38

Unfortunately this is not possible. The Express SKUs of Visual Studio do not support plugins / extensions.

    _"do not support plugins / extensions"_ - That's not entirely correct. Express 2013 editions do not support **3rd party** extensions. [Tell me more](http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2014/05/21/no-extensions-for-visual-studio-express.aspx) – MickyD Jan 27 '15 at 07:23

Try to use NUnit TestAdapter including NUnit. You will find it searching for NUnit in the Manage NuGet Packages window.

I have tested it, and it works fine.

A workaround is in blog post How to invoke NUnit from Visual studio express and execute automation tests.

    I come from the future and seek a workaround. This answer is still a link-only one. – Andrei V Nov 12 '14 at 08:25
