Visual Studio Integration Tests

The Visual Studio Integration test suite provides a set of tests, similar to those used at Microsoft, that help to ensure that VSPackages correctly integrate into Visual Studio. The tests have two objectives:

  1. Ensure that installing or uninstalling a VSPackage works as expected with Visual Studio and does not adversely affect other VSPackages, such as those for Visual C#.

  2. Provide guidance on similar tests you should run for your VSPackage.

The test suite is provided in a Microsoft Excel workbook, installed by default to <Visual Studio installation path>\VisualStudioIntegration\ExtraDocumentation\vsit tests.xls. Because different types of integration have different tests, each is listed on a separate worksheet. For example, the tests for new project types is on the Project worksheet.
