@# Known Issues

• Change in Thread.CurrentPrincipal value.
• Change in test execution processes name.

Change in Thread.CurrentPrincipal value.

• Issue:
  Tests that depend on Thread.CurrentPrincipal may fail. This is due to change in inter process commincation in Testplatform.
• Workaround:
  Use an alternative like System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()

Change in test execution processes name.

• Issue:
  Tests that depend on the name of the currnet running process may fail.
• Workaround:
  Tests run in one of following process vstest.console.exe, testhost.exe, testhost.x86.exe or dotnet.exe based on run configuration (/Platform and /Framework). If the tests depend on the process name, then update the tests accordingly.
