Filtering by Test Category in the Visual Studio Test Runner

$ cat "

The built in Visual Studio is quite limited, but it has a bit more functionality than it first appears.

To filter the test list by a given category, enter the following filter in the search bar of the test runner:

Trait:"UITest"

Visual studio test runner with a filter to only include a given test category

If you instead want to exclude a test category from the list, i.e. show all test which do NOT have the category, prefix the filter with a dash:

-Trait:"UITest"

These kinds of filters can be combined by simply appending one after another, separated by spaces:

-Trait:"UITest" -Trait:"DatabaseTest"
