Test Trait Tagging

Analyze an existing test suite and apply a standardized set of trait tags to each test method, giving teams visibility into their test distribution (positive vs. negative, critical-path coverage, smoke tests, etc.).

When to Use

• Auditing a test project to understand the mix of test types
• Adding trait attributes to untagged tests
• Generating a summary report of trait distribution across a test suite
• Reviewing whether critical paths have sufficient coverage

When Not to Use

• Writing new tests from scratch (use writing-mstest-tests)
• Running or filtering tests (use run-tests)
• Migrating between test frameworks
