VSTest Runsettings samples

This blog is a collection of useful runsettings files that would help drive the VSTest runner. You can find documentation and schema of the runsettings xml here.

AppxInstallTimeoutrunsettings Specifies the installation timeout for a UWP test projects app package. The default value is 30 seconds and if for some reason the app takes longer time to install, then this helps tell the vstest engine to wait the specified amount of time before it decides that something went wrong with the app install and terminate connection with a "Error: (0x5B4) Operation timed out. Unable to install Windows app package in 30 sec"

 

Happy unit testing!
