How to exclude Projects with names ending in “.Test” from my code coverage analysis in VS2012 Unit Tests

Question

My solution is set up with projects called \"ProjectName\" with \"ProjectName\".Tests containing my unit tests. I\'d like to exclude the test projects from the code coverage

Answer 1

There is a connection with the period issue as it was mentioned here. If you change the exclude section to this

<ModulePath>.*tests.dll</ModulePath>
<ModulePath>.*Tests.dll</ModulePath>

or this

<ModulePath>.*\.tests\..*</ModulePath>
<ModulePath>.*\.Tests\..*</ModulePath>

it'll work

Answer 2

You can exclude it by excluding the project dll or by using project name itself also. E.g. -

<ModulePaths>
 <Exclude>
  <ModulePath>Fabrikam.Math.UnitTest.dll</ModulePath>  
    <!-- You can add more ModulePath nodes here. -->
 </Exclude> 
</ModulePaths>

This MSDN link is useful for it.
