Test Classes

Configuration related

	Class	Description
	TestConfiguration	Provides access to a TestConfigurationSection that represents the `microsoft.visualstudio.testtools` section in an app.config file.
	TestConfigurationSection	Provides access to data source configuration data.
	TestsContext	Used to store information that is provided to unit tests.

Objects and Types

	Class	Description
	Private Object	Allows test code to call methods and properties on the code under test that would be inaccessible because they are not public. Automatically generated by the framework.
	PrivateType	Represents the type of a private class that gives access to private static implementations.

Assert classes for test verification

	Class	Description
	Assert	Verifies conditions in unit tests using true/false propositions.
	CollectionAssert	Verifies true/false propositions associated with collections in unit tests.
	StringAssert	Verifies true/false propositions associated with strings in unit tests.

Exception classes

	Class	Description
	AssertInconclusiveException	Used to indicate that a test is not yet implemented.
	AssertFailedException	Used to indicate failure for a test.
	UnitTestAssertException	This is the base class for unit test exceptions.
	InternalTestFailureException	The exception that is thrown to indicate an internal failure for a test.

Test Class and Methods

	Class	Description
	TestClassAttribute	Used to identify classes that contain test methods. This class cannot be inherited.
	TestMethodAttribute	Used to identify test methods. This class cannot be inherited.

Attribute classes used like [AssemblyInitialize()] etc in the attribute for a method .

Initialization Attributes

The order of the methods in the unit test will be run is specified by the attributes:

Methods marked with the AssemblyInitializeAttribute.
Methods marked with the ClassInitializeAttribute. (used for initialization only once to the entire test)
Methods marked with the TestInitializeAttribute. (run once for every user iteration.)
Methods marked with the TestMethodAttribute.

	Class	Description
	AssemblyInitializeAttribute	Identifies a method that contains code to be used before all tests in the assembly have run and to allocate resources obtained by the assembly. This class cannot be inherited.
	ClassInitializeAttribute	Identifies a method that contains code that must be used before any of the tests in the test class have run and to allocate resources to be used by the test class. This class cannot be inherited.
	TestInitializeAttribute	Identifies the method to run before the test to allocate and configure resources needed by all tests in the test class. This class cannot be inherited.

Cleanup Attributes

	Class	Description
	AssemblyCleanupAttribute	Identifies a method that contains code to be used after all tests in the assembly have run and to free resources obtained by the assembly. This class cannot be inherited.
	ClassCleanupAttribute	Identifies a method that contains code to be used after all the tests in the test class have run and to free resources obtained by the test class. This class cannot be inherited.
	TestCleanupAttribute	Identifies a method that contains code that must be used after the test has run and to free resources obtained by all the tests in the test class. This class cannot be inherited.

Modifier Attributes for TestMethod

	Class	Description
	ExpectedExceptionAttribute	Indicates that an exception is expected during test method execution. This class cannot be inherited. E.g. [ExpectedException(typeof(System.DividedByZeroException)]
	IgnoreAttribute	Indicates that a specific test should not be run. This class cannot be inherited. [Ignore()] (the test will be greyed out).
	TimeoutAttribute	Used to specify the time-out period of a unit test in milliseconds.
	DescriptionAttribute	Used to specify the description of the test. This class cannot be inherited. e.g. [Description("test")]
	DataSourceAttribute	Provides data source-specific information for data-driven testing. This class cannot be inherited. Examples are: `[DataSource("Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=MySource;Integrated] Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=MyCatalog;Persist Security Info=False", "MyTable")]` `[DataSource("dataSourceNameFromConfigFile")]`
	TestPropertyAttribute	Establishes a test specific property on a method. This class cannot be inherited. e.g. [TestProperty("Name", "value"]

Other Attributes

	Class	Description
	CssIterationAttribute	Represents the project iteration to which this test corresponds. This class cannot be inherited.
	CssProjectStructureAttribute	Represents the node in the team project hierarchy to which this test corresponds.
	DeploymentItemAttribute	Used to specify deployment items such as files or directories for per-test deployment. This class cannot be inherited. Used for create Test Deployment.
	HostTypeAttribute	Used to specify the type of host that this unit test will run in. This class cannot be inherited. Currently only one type type, i.e. [HostType("ASP.NET")]
	OwnerAttribute	Used to specify the person responsible for maintaining, running, and/or debugging the test. This class cannot be inherited.
	PriorityAttribute	Used to specify the priority of a unit test. This class cannot be inherited.
	WorkItemAttribute	Used to specify a work item associated with a test.

Assert Static Public Members

	Name	Description
	AreEqual	Overloaded. Verifies that specified values are equal.
	AreNotEqual	Overloaded. Verifies that specified values are not equal.
	AreNotSame	Overloaded. Verifies that specified object variables refer to different objects.
	AreSame	Overloaded. Verifies that specified object variables refer to the same object.
	Fail	Overloaded. Fails an assertion without checking any conditions.
	Inconclusive	Overloaded. Indicates that an assertion cannot be proven true or false. Also used to indicate an assertion that has not yet been implemented.
	IsFalse	Overloaded. Verifies that a specified condition is false.
	IsInstanceOfType	Overloaded. Verifies that a specified object is an instance of a specified type.
	IsNotInstanceOfType	Overloaded. Verifies that a specified object is not an instance of a specified type.
	IsNotNull	Overloaded. Verifies that a specified object is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
	IsNull	Overloaded. Verifies that a specified object is null.

Collection Assert Static Public Members

	Name	Description
	AllItemsAreInstancesOfType	Overloaded. Verifies that all elements in a specified collection are instances of a specified type.
