MSTest v3 -> v4 Migration
Migrate a test project from MSTest v3 to MSTest v4. The outcome is a project using MSTest v4 that builds cleanly, passes tests, and accounts for every source-incompatible and behavioral change. MSTest v4 is not binary compatible with MSTest v3 -- any library compiled against v3 must be recompiled against v4.
When to Use
- Upgrading
MSTest.TestFramework,MSTest.TestAdapter, orMSTestmetapackage from 3.x to 4.x - Upgrading
MSTest.Sdkfrom 3.x to 4.x - Fixing build errors after updating to MSTest v4 packages
- Resolving behavioral changes in test execution after upgrading to MSTest v4
- Updating custom
TestMethodAttributeorConditionBaseAttributeimplementations for v4
When Not to Use
- The project already uses MSTest v4 and builds cleanly -- migration is done
- Upgrading from MSTest v1 or v2 -- use
migrate-mstest-v1v2-to-v3first, then return here - The project does not use MSTest
- Migrating between test frameworks (e.g., MSTest to xUnit or NUnit)
