Why does visual studio 2012 not find my tests?

Question

I have some tests that use the built in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting, but can not get them to run.

I am using visual studio 2012 ultimat

Answer 1

I know this is an older question but with Visual Studio 2015 I was having issues where my newly created test class was not being recognized. Tried everything. What ended up being the issue was that the class was not "included in the project". I only found this on restarting Visual Studio and noticing that my test class was not there. Upon showing hidden files, I saw it, as well as other classes I had written, were not included. Hope that helps
