 Testing
 =======
 
-The unit tests use [NUnit 3](https://github.com/nunit/nunit). Vanilla NUnit doesn't 
-support .NET Core, so to run the tests you'll need to use 
-[dotnet-test-nunit](https://github.com/nunit/dotnet-test-nunit). 
-`dotnet-test-nunit` can also run tests for .NET 4.5+, so to run the tests 
-for both .NET Core and .NET 4.5, you can simply open the 
-`Package Manager Console` in Visual Studio and execute:
-```
-dotnet test Google.Protobuf.Test
-```
+The unit tests use [NUnit 3](https://github.com/nunit/nunit). NUnit doesn't yet
+support `dotnet test`, so for now the test project is a console application 
+using NUnitLite. Simply run `Google.Protobuf.Test.exe` to run the unit tests 
+directly, or else use `dotnet run`.
 
 .NET 3.5

 There's no guarantee that this will continue in the future, so rely on .NET 
 3.5 support at your peril.
 
-To enable .NET 3.5 support:
-
-1. Modify [src/Google.Protobuf/project.json](src/Google.Protobuf/project.json) to add `"net35": {}` to `"frameworks"`.
-2. Modify [src/Google.Protobuf.Test/project.json](src/Google.Protobuf/project.json):
-  1. Add `"net35": {}` to `"frameworks"`.
-  2. `dotnet-test-nunit` doesn't support .NET 3.5, so remove it from 
-  the project-wide `"dependencies"` and add it to the framework-specific 
-  dependencies under `"net451"` and `"netcoreapp1.0"`.
-
-Note that `dotnet-test-nunit` doesn't support .NET 3.5. You can instead run the 
-tests with [NUnit 3 console](https://github.com/nunit/nunit-console) 
-by running something like: 
-```
-nunit3-console.exe "Google.Protobuf.Test\bin\Debug\net35\win7-x64\Google.Protobuf.Test.dll" --inprocess
-```
-
-The exact path may differ depending on your environment (e.g., the `win7-x64` 
-directory may be called something else). The `--inprocess` flag seems to be a 
-necessary workaround for a bug in NUnit; otherwise, you'll receive 
-an error "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" 
-([possibly related issue](https://github.com/nunit/nunit/issues/1480)).
-
-If you still want to run the .NET 4.5 and .NET Core tests, you can do so by 
-specifying the framework when using `dotnet-test-nunit`, i.e. from 
-`Package Manager Console` in Visual Studio:
-```
-dotnet test Google.Protobuf.Test --framework netcoreapp1.0
-dotnet test Google.Protobuf.Test --framework net451
-```
+To enable .NET 3.5 support, you must edit the `TargetFrameworks` elements of 
+[src/Google.Protobuf/Google.Protobuf.csproj](src/Google.Protobuf/Google.Protobuf.csproj) 
+(and [src/Google.Protobuf.Test/Google.Protobuf.Test.csproj](src/Google.Protobuf.Test/Google.Protobuf.Test.csproj) 
+if you want to run the unit tests): 
+
+Open the .csproj file in a text editor and simply add `net35` to the list of 
+target frameworks, noting that the `TargetFrameworks` element appears twice in 
+the file (once in the first `PropertyGroup` element, and again in the second 
+`PropertyGroup` element, i.e., the one with the conditional).
