How to RowTest with MSTest?

Question

I know that MSTest doesn't support RowTest and similar tests.

What do MSTests users do? How is it possible to live without RowTest support?

I've seen DataDriven test features but sounds like too much overhead, is there any 3rd party patch or tool which allow me to do RowTest similar tests in MSTest?

Answer 1

[TestMethod] Test1Row1 {     Test1(1,4,5); }  [TestMethod] Test1Row2 {     Test1(1,7,8); }  private Test1(int i, int j, int k) {    //all code and assertions in here } 

Answer 2

I know this is a late answer but hopefully it helps others out.

I looked everywhere for an elegant solution and ended up writing one myself. We use it in over 20 projects with thousands of unit tests and hundreds of thousands of iterations. Never once missed a beat.

1) Install the NuGet package.

2) Inherit your test class from TestBase

public class UnitTest1 : TestBase { } 

3) Create a Property, Field or Method, that returns IEnumerable

public class UnitTest1 : TestBase {     private IEnumerable<int> Stuff     {         get         {             //This could do anything, get a dynamic list from anywhere....             return new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };         }     } } 

4) Add the MSTest DataSource attribute to your test method, pointing back to the IEnumerable name above. This needs to be fully qualified.

[DataSource("Namespace.UnitTest1.Stuff")] public void TestMethod1() {     var number = this.TestContext.GetRuntimeDataSourceObject<int>();      Assert.IsNotNull(number); } 

End Result: 3 iterations just like the normal DataSource :)

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting; using MSTestHacks;  namespace Namespace {     public class UnitTest1 : TestBase     {         private IEnumerable<int> Stuff         {             get             {                 //This could do anything, get a dynamic list from anywhere....                 return new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };             }         }          [DataSource("Namespace.UnitTest1.Stuff")]         public void TestMethod1()         {             var number = this.TestContext.GetRuntimeDataSourceObject<int>();              Assert.IsNotNull(number);         }     } }
