Unit Test Explorer window
Using this window, you can explore and run or debug unit tests of all supported frameworks in the entire solution. Note that unit tests from a project only appear in the window after the project is built. Tests from currently opened files are updated automatically, new tests from the opened files appear in the unit test explorer as soon as you create them. For more information, refer to work with unit tests in project or solution.
To search tests, start typing a test name or its CamelHumps abbreviation as soon as your focus is in this window.
