Running Typemock SmartRunner Task

The SmartRunner is a unit test runner, that can run Nunit, Xunit and MSTest as well as Suggested and Sandboxed tests.

SmartRunner can run on both Shared and On Premises Agents, as it doesn't require deployment.

SmartRunner Task is normally used as direct replacement for the VSTest task. It has similar execution and reporting options:

Execution Options
Test Assembly	Specifies the binaries to run tests on. Wildcards can be used.
Test Names	Additional criteria to filter tests from Test Assemblies. It operates on the "contains" principle. For example, for "MyTest" criteria all tests from "MyTestsNamespace" namespace will run, as well as all tests from "MyTestClass" class and test method named "MyTest".
Reporting Options
Test Run Title	Specifies a name for the Test Run.
Results Format	Specifies a format for Tests Results. You can choose MStest or nUnit format
Platform	Platform against which the tests should be reported.
Configuration	Configuration against which the tests should be reported.
SeparateProcess	Check this option if you want to run multiple DLLs with a different Process created for each Test DLL.

Code Coverage Options
Coverage Assembly	Specify Covered Assembly Name
Code Coverage Report Format	Choose Report format

For analyzing and fixing bugs Typemock provides you diagnostics logs, which you can find as the build artifacts.

Advanced Execution Options
Log Mocking Diagnostics	To enable all mocking logs
Log SmartRunner Diagnostics	To enable SmartRunner logs
