MS test, trying to insert my test name into test Capabilities

I am new to Automated testing (new to coding) and have been teaching myself C# and selenium using Visual Studio and MS Test. I am trying to get the test name (As defined from test Method) so I can insert this into a config class for my Browserstack/CBT comparison and review testing.

What I want to be able to define is something like

Testname = Name of test (from test method) so I can then insert this into my driver file

IWebDriver driver;

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();

caps.SetCapability("name", Testname);

Reading online I know there is a TestName capability in MS Test however I am not able to figure out how to utilise it for my purpose.

Any help greatly appreciated happy to give additional info if needed.

regards

Richard

Solution

  • The easier way to get the name of the test method in MS Test is by using the TestContext property:

    First, inside your test class add the following line (if not already exist):

    public TestContext TestContext { get; set; }

    MS-Test will set this property to a TestContext object relevant for the current test.

    Then you can use:

    string testName = TestContext.TestName;
...
caps.SetCapability("name", testname);
