The CodeRush Unit Test Runner tool can be used for the following tasks:

• Review tests in the solution.
• Run and debug tests.
• Analyze the test results.
• Analyze the test execution output.
• Analyze the code coverage.
• Run and debug JavaScript tests.

The Unit Test Runner consists of two parts:

• a test runner tool window - allows you to run tests, debug them, and analyze their results.

  

• an in-editor UI - allows you to run tests direct from the code editor.

  

Discovering Tests

If your solution contains tests and the appropriate framework is referenced, the Unit Test Runner:

• Recognizes the tests.

• Marks the tests with an icon to the left of each test attribute.

• Creates a tests tree in the Test Runner tool window.

Test Framework Support

The Unit Test Runner supports the following testing frameworks:

• NUnit
• xUnit
• Machine.Specifications.
• Microsoft Test Framework.
• .NET Core tests on the listed frameworks.
• JavaScript frameworks: Jasmine, QUnit, Mocha.

Refer to the Testing Framework Configuration article for details on how to set up the testing framework.

NOTE

CodeRush Test Runner supports running tests under SciTech Software’s .NET Memory Profiler. This third-party product allows you to use the Run Under Memory Profiler toolbar button () to run tests designed to identify memory leaks and other memory usage issues.
