How can we run a test method with multiple parameters in MSTest?

NUnit has a feature called Values, like below:

[Test]
public void MyTest(
    [Values(1,2,3)] int x,
    [Values("A","B")] string s)
{
    // ...
}

This means that the test method will run six times:

MyTest(1, "A")
MyTest(1, "B")
MyTest(2, "A")
MyTest(2, "B")
MyTest(3, "A")
MyTest(3, "B")

We're using MSTest now, but is there any equivalent for this so that I can run the same test with multiple parameters?

[TestMethod]
public void Mytest()
{
    // ...
}
Solution

  • It is unfortunately not supported in older versions of MSTest. Apparently there is an extensibility model and you can implement it yourself. Another option would be to use data-driven tests.

    My personal opinion would be to just stick with NUnit though...

    As of Visual Studio 2012, update 1, MSTest has a similar feature. See McAden's answer.
