Microsoft.Testing.Platform 2.2.3 (original) (raw)
Microsoft.Testing.Platform is a lightweight and portable alternative to VSTest for running tests in CLI, continuous integration (CI) pipelines, Visual Studio Test Explorer, and Visual Studio Code Test Explorer. Microsoft.Testing.Platform is embedded directly in your test projects and test applications can be run directly.
Microsoft.Testing.Platform is open source. You can find Microsoft.Testing.Platform code in the microsoft/testfx GitHub repository.
Install the package
dotnet add package Microsoft.Testing.Platform
About
This package provides the core platform and the .NET implementation of the testing protocol. It includes:
- Test application host: test projects are built as executables that can be run directly
- Extensibility model: a rich extensibility model allowing test frameworks, tools and extensions to interoperate
- Protocol: the
Microsoft Testing Platform protocolenabling communication between the test host and external consumers (e.g. IDE, CI)
This package is typically not referenced directly. Instead, test framework packages (such as MSTest) reference it automatically.
- Microsoft.Testing.Platform.MSBuild: MSBuild integration for
dotnet testand CI pipeline support
