For .NET runners TeamCity provides support for MSTest 2005/2008/2010 testing framework via parsing of the MSTest results file (.trx file).
note
Due to specifics of MSTest test runner, TeamCity does not support on-the-fly test reporting for MSTest. All test results are imported after tests run has finished.
The most handy way to report tests results for MSTest is using Build Script Interaction with TeamCity. This method is applicable for any build runner. In addition, for sln2008 TeamCity provides possibility to enable and customize MSTest parameters via web UI, without using service messages.
tip
Since TeamCity 5.1 you can set up MSTest options via web UI for Visual Studio (sln) and MSBuild runners.
Supporting MSTest with Service Messages
TeamCity reports test results from MSTest 2005/2008/2010 parsing results .trx-file. To provide .trx-file, send the following service message:
##teamcity[importData type='mstest' path='<path to .trx file>']
note
Make sure that created .trx-file is not deleted after sending mentioned TeamCity service message.
Autodetection of MSTest
Build agent will add %\system.MSTest.8.0%, %\system.MSTest.9.0% or %\system.MSTest.10.0% system property (see Build Agent Configuration for detail) in cases MSTest.exe from Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010 is found on the build agent running system.
