Is there a way to adjust the "Class" property after test execution

[bernd5]

Hello,
I'd like to adjust the "Class" or some other column in VS Test Explorer after test execution with a simple text:

I would like to see there something like the exception class (FeatureXYZNotImplementedException). The text should be adjustable.

My tests are based on [TestCaseSource(nameof(TestFiles))].

The main reason for this is that I want to get more outcome states: not just "fail" and "pass".

I am not sure I understand what you're looking for. You can tweak the reported names to a certain degree using the name formats, see Tricks and Traps in the adapter docs, but otherwise we don't control how the test explorer UI displays the tests.

As you know, I use very much the TestCaseSource - which is super great.
What I want now is some way to report more information as just "pass" or "fail" to the test explorer depending on the test outcome / test result. I can't fill it during test discovery.

So I would like to write for example:

TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.ClassName = "MyClass";

Any other column is okay, too. It should just be sortable in VS. Is there any way to achieve this?

What I tried already:
I replaced the TestAdapter class and changed the reflection based class property. But the data is not reported/copied back to VS.

I opened an issue at developercommunity.visualstudio.com, too.

I see your point, it's a good idea. And I think we need the changes first in Test Explorer and its interface, then it should be doable from the adapter/framework. I upvoted your devcom issue :-)
