MSTest Action

Tests

Test Source

You can choose to load tests from either an assembly containing tests or a test metadata file. A test metadata file is an XML file which is created when you use Test Manager to create tests for a Visual Studio solution file.

Test metadata file

Tests to Run

By default, all tests in the container/metadata file are executed. Optionally, you can specify one or more test names or one or more test list names to run. Test lists only apply when running tests from a test metadata file.

MSTest options

Starting directory

Run Configuration File

You can optionally specify a .testrunconfig file containing test run configuration details.

Results file path

You can optionally specify a .TRX results file path for the result details. This file can be opened and viewed in Visual Studio.

Show banner at startup

If this option is enabled, the MSTest banner will be logged when the action is run.

MSTest Version

Choose the applicable version of MSTest for your Visual Studio version. The Run MSTest action uses the path to Visual Studio given under Tools -> Options -> Visual Studio.NET.

There is also the option to choose "Standalone MSTest" version, if your copy of MSTest is not installed as part of a Visual Studio installation. The standalone path is also set from the Visual Studio options.

Publish Results

Publish results to team system

Don't publish

Automatically publish results when running under Team Build

Publish results using the following settings

The options on the "Publish Results" are for publishing test results to a Team Foundation Server. By default, results are automatically published, but only if FinalBuilder detects it is being run as part of a Team Build process.

Alternatively, you can choose "Don't publish results" to never publish results to TFS.

Finally, you can optionally specify explicit settings to have results published to a specific TFS server, for a particular team project and team build ID.
