Configuring Test Execution
You can configure how tests run. When you define a test run configuration, you determine, for example, the way test runs are named, the files that accompany tests when they run, and whether unit tests generate code-coverage information.

- How to: Specify a Test Run Configuration
Describes how to make settings that control the way that test runs proceed. Your settings are saved to disk in test run configuration.
- How to: Apply a Test Run Configuration
Describes how to make a particular test run configuration active. This means that the test execution engine will adhere to the settings in the active test run configuration when it runs tests.
- How to: Edit a Test Run Configuration File
Test run configuration settings are stored in an XML file. Although you can change most settings by using the test run configuration dialog box, you must edit the XML file directly to change other settings.
- Editing a Test Run Configuration XML File
Shows the structure of a test run configuration file and provides two examples of settings that you can change only by editing the file manually.
