Including and excluding subset of tests for live execution

In this section, we will show you how to selectively include and/or exclude subset of tests from live unit test execution. This features is extremely helpful in improving responsiveness for very large solutions where building the entire solution and then executing all the unit tests could be time consuming and resource intensive.

Getting started

You will need to have the Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition installed on your machine to execute this recipe. You can install a licensed enterprise edition from https://www.visualstudio.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Enterprise&rel=15.

How to do it...

1. Open Visual Studio 2017 and create a C# solution with 10 ClassLibrary projects, say ClassLibrary, ClassLibrary1, ..., ClassLibrary9 and one unit test project UnitTestProject:

2. Add a project reference to all the class library projects in UnitTestProject.
3. Add a new test class UnitTest2 in UnitTestProject and rename the test method...
