Remarks

Test methods must be located in a test class and must be marked with the TestMethodAttribute to be valid.

This attribute can be specified on a method. Only one instance of this attribute may be applied to a method.

This attribute is used by default to distinguish test methods in auto-generated code.

method signature cannot contain parameters

Methods marked with the TestMethod attribute can not take any parameters.

For example:

[TestMethod]
public void TestSave(int count) {
//... do something
}

is not a valid signature.
