run-tests

run-tests is a Test authoring & frameworks skill for AI agents, published by microsoft in the testfx repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates run-tests D (63/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

For `dotnet test`: figures out which test platform (VSTest vs Microsoft.Testing.Platform) a project uses from `Directory.Build.props`, `global.json`, and `.csproj`, then picks the matching command syntax. USE FOR: running, filtering, or troubleshooting `dotnet test`; identifying the test runner/platform from project files; `--` separator rules on .NET SDK 8/9 vs 10+; choosing the right filter syntax for MSTest / xUnit / NUnit / TUnit (--filter, --filter-class, --filter-trait, --filter-query, --treenode-filter); TRX/reporting (--report-trx vs --logger trx); blame/hang/crash diagnostics (--blame-hang-timeout, --blame-crash); running tests against a single target framework when a project targets multiple TFMs (e.g., `<TargetFrameworks>net8.0;net9.0</TargetFrameworks>`, `--framework <TFM>`); and avoiding MTP/VSTest argument mixups (--logger trx on MTP, --report-trx on VSTest, --blame on MTP). DO NOT USE FOR: writing/generating test code, CI/CD config, or debugging failing test logic.
