The purpose of this PR is to evaluate VS Test Platform in more depth, understand if it solves the below problems, and hence if we should move over.
Currently we use the
dotnet testanddotnet vstestfor test execution and generate TRX files which we parse for test discovery. This approach has several limitations.VS Test Platform is the underlying system, which has been open sourced, that
dotnet vstestcommands and Visual Studio test explorer is build upon. My understanding is that it has a superset of functionality compared to the dotnet cli and designed to enable scalable and performant test discovery and execution tools.Note that VS Test Platform project itself doesn't have any client code, it's a backend + remote API. Hence this is also building on the great work over at https://github.com/gfrancischini/vscode-vstest-framework
