问题
I have a need to write some mstests and run these tests on a Mac. The binaries for the source code being tested are already up and running on Mac.
To run test automation written in Visual studio, do I follow the same process? Any pointers on how to get started with running these test cases using Mono on a Mac?

I know this issue is old but I came across it while searching for solutions for running MSTest on my mac. I'll investigate the above but also worth noting that MSTest support on VS 4 Mac is imminent:
MSTest support in Visual Studio for Mac will be available in 15.5 release cycle aka VSfM 7.3, which is planned to hit Alpha channel in few weeks. (20th September 2017)
See this github issue
However - if you can't wait - you can use the dotnet cli command:
dotnet test CreditCardValidator.iOS.MSTestAppium/CreditCardValidator.iOS.MSTestAppium.csproj
Build started, please wait... Build completed.

I would rather try to convert them to NUnit which works fine on mono. Maybe you could try this.

It seems that this is now possible, but that you have to build the executable yourself (at this point in time):
https://github.com/Microsoft/testfx
https://github.com/Microsoft/testfx-docs/blob/master/docs/contribute.md#building-with-visual-studiovs
You should follow the "Building with Visual Studio" instructions, using VS for Mac, or Xamarin Studio.
UPDATE: I tried this myself with VS for Mac v.7.1.3 and did not have success. In theory, this is possible, however... As you can see it's on GitHub though, so you should be able to submit an issue there, if there isn't a suitable one.
