Can You Run Unit Tests With Out Installing Visual Studio?

A customer asked me this question today, the answer is YES. Unit Tests are not used only to test code, you will need to use Unit Tests to test WCF for example. Running Unit Tests on machines with no installation of Visual Studio is an ability that can save licenses and installations.

So how it is done?

All you need is a Test Agent installed on the target machine, from this point you can do it in a few ways:

• Using command line and running all the tests by using the MSTest.exe
• Using the Visual Studio installed on another computer and change the test settings to run tests on the target machine.
