Embed VSTS unit tests in standalone application

Question

In visual studio there is the so called 'test view' that provides an overview of all unit tests within the current solution/project.

I wonder if it is possible to embed this view into a standalone application. The idea is to have a standalone application that lets you run special integration tests on a staging system.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

This view is part of Visual Studio. Even if it was possible to do what you ask about, it's not likely to be legal, as it's part of a licensed product.

For scenarios such as this, you would be much better off with an open source unit testing framework such as xUnit.net or NUnit, where reuse is much more open.
