Is there an MSTest equivalent to NUnit's Explicit Attribute?
The main difference is the ability of MsTest to execute in parallel at the method level. Also, the tight integration of MsTest with Visual Studio provides advantages in both speed and robustness when compared to NUnit. As a result, I recommend MsTest.
Visual Studio includes the VSTest and MSTest command-line tools for testing purposes. We can use both VSTEST and MSTEST to run automated unit and coded UI tests from a command line. 1. VSTest. Console.exe is optimized for performance and is used in place of MSTest.exe in Visual Studio.
NUnit will run all the tests using the same class instance, while xUnit will create a new instance for each test.
No, the closest you will get is with the [Ignore] attribute.
However, MSTest offers other ways of disabling or enabling tests using Test Lists. Whether you like them or not, Test Lists are the recommended way to select tests in MSTest.
When you want the test only to assert when ran with the debugger (implicitly run manually I assume) then you may find this useful:
if (!System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) return;
Add the line above at the beginning of the method marked with [TestMethod]
. Then the test is always ran, but nothing is asserted when there is no debugger attached.
So when you want to run it manually, do it in debug mode.
