Is it possible to see the sequence of test run?

Question

I'm using MSTest with Visual Studio 2012, is it possible to see which test runs first, second third and so forth?

I prefer the tests to run in random orders but I just want to know when tests fail, I like to know the sequence they ran and helps me to figure out why they fail easier.

Answer 1

If you want to know the sequence in which your test ran you can do the following:

A bit of work to do:

1. Add a breakpoint at the start of your method decorated with attribute 'TestMethod'.
2. Right click your breakpoint and select 'When Hit...'.

3. Make sure the checkbox next to 'Print a message' is ticked.

   Do this for all your test methods.

Let Visual Studio do the rest:

• Debug all your tests by pressing ALT + S, D, A.

Wow! It worked:

• Find the sequence in your debug output window (ALT + V, O).
