MSTest 4.4.0 MSTest.TestAdapter MSTest.TestFramework Microsoft.Testing.Platform dependency

💡 Result:

As of September 2, 2026, MSTest 4.4.0 is under active development and is considered a future release, with preview versions available [1][2]. The relationship between the key MSTest components and Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP) is defined as follows: Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP) Integration MTP serves as a lightweight, cross-platform alternative to VSTest, designed to be embedded directly into test projects as an executable [3][4]. MSTest provides native support for MTP through the MSTest runner [3]. When configured, this allows tests to run as standard.NET applications (e.g., via dotnet run or direct execution), removing the dependency on external runners like vstest.console [3][4]. Dependency Structure - MSTest.TestFramework: Contains the core testing framework libraries, attributes, and assertion APIs [5][6]. - MSTest.TestAdapter: Contains the logic to discover and execute tests [5][6]. - Dependency Evolution: Historically, MSTest.TestAdapter did not explicitly list MSTest.TestFramework as a NuGet dependency, as the adapter often included the framework DLLs or handled resolution internally [7]. However, modern MSTest v4 workflows encourage the use of the MSTest metapackage, which simplifies project configuration by automatically including both the framework and the adapter [7][5]. Changes in 4.4.0 (Development) The upcoming 4.4.0 release continues to refine MTP integration. A notable architectural change in 4.4.0 makes the MSTest path to Microsoft.Testing.Platform "native-only" [8]. Specifically, MSTest.TestAdapter has been updated to remove dependencies on VSTest-bridge components (e.g., Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.VSTestBridge) and instead references MTP components like Microsoft.TestPlatform.ObjectModel directly [8]. Recommendation For new projects, it is recommended to use the MSTest metapackage or the MSTest SDK to manage these dependencies automatically, as they ensure compatibility between the framework, adapter, and the chosen test platform (MTP or VSTest) [7][5][9].

Align the MSTest dependency family before merge.

MSTest.TestAdapter 4.4.0 requires several Testing Platform packages at 2.4.0 or later, but this file pins them to 2.3.3. MSTest 4.4.0 also requires Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage 18.11.0 or later, while this file pins 18.10.0. Update the affected package family to compatible versions.

versions compatible with MSTest and MSTest.TestAdapter 4.4.0: use Testing
Platform 2.4.0 or later and CodeCoverage 18.11.0 or later, while preserving the
existing MSTest 4.4.0 entries.
