Adoption guide

Repositories that prefer first-party tooling and existing MSTest conventions.

Unit Testing guide

Why it appears in the guide: Microsoft's test framework, especially practical in Visual Studio-centred solutions. Trade-off: Compare its current data-driven and extensibility needs against the alternatives before a large migration.

NuGet marks this package as deprecated. Review the publisher's migration guidance before adopting it.

Compatibility metadata lists 5 target frameworks; confirm the exact target used by your application.

How to read this guidance
