Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.VSTestBridge 2.2.1

Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.VSTestBridge

Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.VSTestBridge is a test framework author extension for Microsoft.Testing.Platform. It provides a compatibility layer with VSTest so frameworks can support Microsoft.Testing.Platform while continuing VSTest-mode workflows.

Note: This package is not intended for end-user test projects. It is designed for framework and adapter maintainers who need compatibility with both VSTest and Microsoft.Testing.Platform.

Microsoft.Testing.Platform is open source. You can find Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.VSTestBridge code in the microsoft/testfx GitHub repository.

Install the package

dotnet add package Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.VSTestBridge

About

This package provides:

  • VSTest compatibility layer: helps frameworks keep existing VSTest-mode workflows (vstest.console.exe, dotnet test, VSTest task, Test Explorer)
  • Migration path: enables framework authors to gradually adopt Microsoft.Testing.Platform while maintaining compatibility
  • Runsettings and filter support: enables VSTest .runsettings/--filter compatibility where supported by the framework
