How CLR runs the testmethods from unit test project

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have the unit test project which has n number of test methods like below,

C#

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

namespace BankTests
{
    [TestClass]
    public class BankAccountTests
    {
        [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {
        }
             and so on....

    }
}

So my question is HOW CLR treats all test methods?

The same way it treats everything else.

There's nothing special about unit tests, they are just functions like any other. We mark them with Custom Attributes to identify classes and individual tests, but that is just so that the test runner can identify them.

Unless you're using some integrated test runner, you shell out to the test runner gui which loads your test assembly, identifies the tests, calls them and collects the results. None of this has any special treatment by the CLR.
