MSTest - How to limit test result folders

Question

Every time an MSTest runs it creates a new time stamped folder inside of TestResults. This can result in many files/folders that take up hard drive space.

Answer 1

You can limit the number of stored test-runs to 1, which should meet your requirements.

MSDN have an article on how to achieve this:

• In Visual Studio, click Options on the Tools menu.
• The Options dialog box appears.
• Expand Test Tools or Web Performance Test Tools and click Test Execution
• Under Test Results Management, select the number of test runs to keep.
• Click OK.
