This book shows step by step how to do basic testing in .NET. I have not applied any of the code yet, but it does appear to describe in detail how to build basic test from the ground up. It points out some of the pitfalls you will encounter along the way, and seems to be extracted from some real world testing. If you are looking to build your own simple test harnesses for .NET, this is the book you need.
