Is there any object model for running VS Tests?

Question

Hi,

Is there any interface or any object model in which I can run VS Tests (even when the VS is closed!). I know I can use MSTest, is there any DLL set which MSTest works with which I can use to run the tests (again, even when the VS is closed, i.e., not through the Add-Ins interface!)?

Regards

Answer 1

Hello,

As I know, there is no specific dll directs the working mstest. Mstest.exe lies under the path '.....\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\'. You may utilize it under that path.

If I have misunderstood you, please correct me.

Hi Edwer Fang,

Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking for an object model, or an API to run the tests. Even if it's not being directly used by the MSTest.

Hi,

Edwer is correct; you can execute MSTest from a command-line, or from your code, to run a set of tests outside the VS IDE.
