Question

Recently I started using mstest for testing.

1. Is there any way to write messages to test window if test successed? I don’t see the way, messages are alowed only if test fails. What if I want to let say, print little description of a test, so I can see what test means without having to open the test. Or, as now is the case, I’m measuring times of execution for some tests, I want to print that time out.

2. Is there a way to extend test methods so to easy choose if I want tests with or without time measuring, choosing the mode of test execution?

Thanx

Answer 1

Right click on the columns in the test result window and choose ‘Add/Remove Columns’. Add the columns for ‘Duration’ and ‘Output (StdOut)’. That will give you test timing and let you see what the tests print.
