description: Third-party test frameworks and libraries that AutoFixture integrates with on v5.
---

AutoFixture ships extension packages that connect to tools you already use in .NET test projects. Each guide below covers the third-party library, what AutoFixture adds, and how to install both sides.

Pick the test framework you use, then add a mocking library if your tests need substitutes for interfaces or abstract types.

## Test frameworks

These libraries run your tests. AutoFixture extensions add `[AutoData]`, `[InlineAutoData]`, and related attributes so method parameters become anonymous specimens.

- [xUnit.net 3](/docs/integrations/xunit3)
- [NUnit 4](/docs/integrations/nunit4)

## Mocking libraries

These libraries create test doubles. AutoFixture extensions register them as residue collectors so interfaces and abstract dependencies resolve to mocks, fakes, or substitutes when AutoFixture builds object graphs.

- [Moq](/docs/integrations/automoq)
- [NSubstitute](/docs/integrations/autonsubstitute)
- [FakeItEasy](/docs/integrations/autofakeiteasy)
