I have been searching for a good way to run JavaScript unit tests inside of the Visual Studio IDE. I currently use TestDriven.net to run my C# units tests and it is very convenient to be able to quickly get the result of my tests in the output pane. I would love to find a similar experience for JavaScript (ideally working with TestDriven.net).
I have read about different solutions that let you execute JavaScrpt unit tests. Some have their own JS engine while others like JS-Test-Driver are able to send the code to the browsers and fetch the results. But I have yet to see something that is integrated into VS.

After nine months there are now a couple answers to this question.
I created an open source project called Chutzpah - A JavaScript Test Runner. Chutzpah enables you to run JavaScript unit tests from the command line and from inside of Visual Studio. It also supports running in the TeamCity continuous integration server.
Another solution is part of the next version of Resharper. In Resharper 6 there is an integrated QUnit test runner.
