Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework.dll)
The TestContext type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | TestContext | Initializes a new instance of an object that derives from the TestContext class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| CurrentTestOutcome | You can use this property in a TestCleanup method to determine the outcome of a test that has run. |
| DataConnection | When overridden in a derived class, gets the current data connection when the test is used for data driven testing. |
| DataRow | When overridden in a derived class, gets the current data row when test is used for data driven testing. |
| DeploymentDirectory | Gets the directory for files deployed for the test run. This property typically contains a subdirectory of TestRunDirectory. |
| FullyQualifiedTestClassName | Gets the fully-qualified name of the class that contains the test method that is currently running. |
| Properties | When overridden in a derived class, gets the test properties. |
| RequestedPage | Gets the requested page. |
| ResultsDirectory | Gets the top-level directory that contains test results and test result directories for the test run. This is typically a subdirectory of TestRunDirectory. |
| TestDeploymentDir | Gets the path to the test deployment directory. Deprecated. Use DeploymentDirectory instead. |
| TestDir | Gets the path to the test directory. Deprecated. Use TestRunDirectory instead. |
| TestLogsDir | Gets the path to the test log directory. Deprecated. Use TestRunResultsDirectory instead. |
| TestName | Gets the test name. |
| TestResultsDirectory | Gets the directory for the test result files. |
| TestRunDirectory | Gets the top-level directory for the test run that contains deployed files and result files. |
| TestRunResultsDirectory | Gets the top-level directory for the test run result files. This property typically contains a subdirectory of ResultsDirectory. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AddResultFile | When overridden in a derived class, adds a file name to the list in TestResult.ResultFileNames. |
| BeginTimer | When overridden in a derived class, begins a timer with the specified name. |
| EndTimer | When overridden in a derived class, ends a timer with the specified name. |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| WriteLine | When overridden in a derived class, used to write trace messages while the test is running. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AspNetDevelopmentServerPrefix | Represents the prefix for ASP.NET Development Server. |
This class cannot be instantiated. Do not create a class that inherits from this class. For more information, see Using the TestContext Class.
