Menu
Run tests in Test Explorer If Test Explorer is not visible, choose Test on the Visual Studio menu, choose Windows, and then choose Test Explorer (or press Ctrl + E, T). As you run, write, and rerun your tests, the Test Explorer displays the results in a default grouping of Project, Namespace, and Class.
To generate unit tests, your types must be public. Open your solution in Visual Studio and then open the class file that has methods you want to test. Right-click on a method and choose Run IntelliTest to generate unit tests for the code in your method. IntelliTest runs your code many times with different inputs.
The 'Create Unit Test' context menu option seems to be missing from my copy of VS2017.
I know there was a bit of history where it was removed and then re-added in VS2015 after much outcry, but as far as I can tell from the Microsoft documentation for VS2017 it should be there now?
The solution I'm working on contains an ASP.NET Web API 2 app, a C# Class Library and a couple of test projects, all targeting .NET Framework 4.5.1. (I'm aware that this option shouldn't be there for .Net Core or .Net Standard projects (as discussed at length in this question).
I've tried right clicking the class name and method name in the code window, the class name tab and the class file in solution explorer all to no avail.
Edit: The "Testing tools core features" is already installed in my copy of VS:
Edit 2: I can confirm this is now fixed in the latest versions of VS.
