What is "IIS Express Bootstrapper"?

IIS Express Bootstrapper is a very simple library built to make easy run IIS Express from your C# code for a web application project.

It's a great library for acceptance tests.

How do I install it?

You can install this package via NuGet Package Manager or via Package Manager Console:

Basic sample

namespace IISExpressSample
{
    [TestFixture]
    public class YourTestClass
    {
        [Test]
        public void YourTestMethod()
        {
            var host = new IISExpressHost("IISExpressBootstrapper.SampleWebApp", 8088);

            // Your amazing test code goes here
