sounds sensible. Are you testing both ? or is the server just a requirement
for you to be able to test the client ? In that case you may want
to start the server in a resource's 'SetUp' method (and shut it down
in the 'CleanUp' method), and let the test be dependent on that resource.
That would be particularly useful if you wanted to run multiple client
tests that could all use the same server, which would be more efficient.
