Running Visual Studio Test project from outside

c#, powershell, unit-testing, visual-studio, windows-8

Solution

`mstest.exe` is the command line test runner.

It is documented on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj155804.aspx

I see no reason this will not work from PowerShell.

Problem

I am trying to run a Visual Studio 2012 solution with a normal c# dll project and a Unit test project(referencing the c# project dll) from a windows 8 app/ another c# project. How do I trigger the run of the unit tests from another visual studio project? Is there any way to trigger with a powershell script ?
