mstest

I have a project setup to use MSTests but they are simply taking too long to load all the the test DLLs, before even loading my project specific DLLs. I´m on Visual Studio Professional 2015 with Resharper 10.0.1 I´m attaching only part of the the logs down here since stack overflow complaint about limit, but it would be 10 times as bigger, following the same line of these dlls. The total time was around 30s, before my dlls started being loaded, but only a couple of acceptable seconds afterwards. Is there anyway to optimize this? EDIT: Actually, found that some libs are being loaded/unloaded

We use .runsettings file in visual studio for running specflow tests. There we have certain parameters configured. I need to access those parameter values at run time to use in specflow test methods. I tried accessing those via TestContext as below [ClassInitialize] public static void Initialize(TestContext testContext) { var value= Convert.ToString(testContext.Properties["testParameter1"]); } I am getting the exception for testcontext instance at run time as below. "System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'" Environment Visual Studio Enterprise

I want to utilize TFS and MSTest for regression testing. I have a few long running unit tests ( 10+ minutes ). The unit tests can be run successfully locally on developer's machine inside VS2017. The unit test were shown as passed on TFS2017. However the build was marked as failed. This problem looks like a timeout to me between the executor and the unit test. Is there a way to increase the timeout setting in TFS? Any other ideas to fix the build? 2017-11-28T14:01:00.8504854Z ##[error]Error: An exception occurred while invoking executor 'executor://mstestadapter/v2': Object '/fe158daa_975c

I am developing a MSTest framework based unit test project. The issue I have is I am not able to run the test in parallel and it is running sequentially. I have added the below line in my testsettings file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RunSettings> <RunConfiguration> <MaxCpuCount>0</MaxCpuCount> </RunConfiguration> </RunSettings> and when I run the command vstest.console.exe C:\Git\Test.dll /TestCaseFilter:"TestCategory=Flow1|TestCategory=Flow2|TestCategory=Flow3" /settings:C:\Git\UIRunSettings.runsettings the test are running one by one and not in parallel. Any thoughts would be
