How to create Startup and Cleanup script for Visual Studio Test Project?

automated-tests, mstest, visual-studio

Solution

Create a unit test in your test project. In the unit test class, create methods with the `[TestInitialize]` and `[TestCleanup]` attributes. They will be run before/after each test method.

Or, if you want to run before/after all test in that class, create static methods with `[ClassInitialize]` and `[ClassCleanup]` attributes.

Lastly, to run before/after all tests in the assembly, create static methods with `[AssemblyInitialize]` and `[AssemblyCleanup]` attributes.

Problem

I'm using a Visual Studio Test project, am modifying the test config with deployment files, etc. (through the VS GUI) and now I need to write a Startup script for the test run. I have no clue what language or file type or mechanism is used for these scripts. Need a tip.
