VSTest

Submit and collect your VSTest results in Testiny to track automated test runs. By integrating VSTest with Testiny, you can gain valuable insights into your testing process. Track automation results over time, identify frequently failing tests, and detect patterns in test failures to fix CI failures and find flaky tests.

Run VSTest & Generate TRX XML Reports​

The TRX logger is an inbuilt logger to generate Visual Studio Test Results File (TRX).

When running your tests with VSTest, specify the TRX reporter as follows:

vstest.console.exe MyTests.dll /logger:trx

In the next step, learn how to import the results from the TRX files to Testiny.

Import Results to Testiny​

Make sure you've generated an API key and use the Testiny CLI to import the results to Testiny:

export TESTINY_API_KEY=****
npx @testiny/cli automation --project ID_OR_KEY --source "frontend" --vstest results.trx

In the above example, the environment variable TESTINY_API_KEY is set to authenticate the request. The --project flag specifies the target Testiny project using its ID or key and the --source flag categorizes the test results (e.g., frontend, backend, integration tests, ...). The --vstest flag specifies the format of the specified test result file(s).

Once executed, the Testiny CLI will automatically create a new automated test run in Testiny and import all results from the specified report(s).
