How to exclude certain tests in the Visual Studio Test Runner?

Question

I have attributes on certain tests that I ideally don\'t want to run on every build. Most of my tests are normal unit tests and I do want them to run on every build.

A bit late to the partyI had the same issue where all developers were confronted with disruptive CodedUI when just running all unit tests in a solution. My workaround is to add the following to the AssemblyInitializer of the CodedUI Project:

    if(!ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MachinesToRunCodedUI"].Split(',').Contains(Environment.MachineName))
        Assert.Inconclusive("CodedUI Tests are skipped.");

Only when a machine is part of that MachinesToRunCodedUI list, it will run the CodedUI tests.
