Activity for July 2026

Suggested Actions for Maintainer

• Review draft PR #aw_pr0020_0021: test: add edge case tests for MSTEST0020/0021 analyzers (+3 tests: non-TestClass diagnostic for both analyzers, parameterized-ctor merge for MSTEST0020 fixer) - Review

Maintainer Priorities

No specific priorities communicated yet.

Testing Opportunities Backlog

1. MSTest.Engine internal class coverage — TestArgumentsManager, TestFixtureManager, ThreadPoolTestNodeRunner are internal (~135+ LOC each). Would need InternalsVisibleTo or integration tests.
2. More Assert method coverage — Any remaining gaps in newer Assert overloads.
3. Analyzer edge cases (ongoing) — Continue systematic coverage of untested paths in MSTest.Analyzers. After MSTEST0020/0021, remaining candidates:
   • Other analyzers not yet covered with edge cases

Discovered Commands

• Unit Tests: ./build.sh -test
• Single analyzer test run: .dotnet/dotnet test test/UnitTests/MSTest.Analyzers.UnitTests/MSTest.Analyzers.UnitTests.csproj -f net8.0 --no-build -c Debug --filter "ClassName~Tests"
• Pack NuGets: ./build.sh -pack
