SimpleTests
A minimal, explicit, type-safe dotnet test framework built on Microsoft.Testing.Platform.
Why SimpleTests?
- No annotations or reflection. Tests are created explicitly as values, so there's no magic discovery step — just standard dotnet code.
- Type-safe data-driven tests. Test cases are generic (
Test.CasesSync<'a>,Test.CasesAsync<'a>), so data and test logic are checked at compile time, unlike annotation-based[InlineData]approaches. - Faster test discovery. No assembly scanning or reflection — tests are registered directly.
- Explicit setup at every level. One-time setup functions can be specified per
TestFolder,TestList, or the entire run, with no convention-based lifecycle to learn. - Explicit hierarchy matching Visual Studio.
TestFoldermaps to a namespace andTestListmaps to a class in Test Explorer, so the tree you define is the tree you see. - Standalone executable. Built on Microsoft.Testing.Platform, each test project runs as its own process with no vstest.console.exe host, giving faster startup and simpler CI orchestration.
- Minimal API surface. Just
Test,TestList,TestFolder, andRunner.Run.
Testing with Microsoft.Testing.Platform
SimpleTests uses Microsoft.Testing.Platform. See Testing with dotnet test for how to run it.
Filtering tests
Pass --filter <text> to run only the tests whose full name namespace.list.test (your TestFolder, TestList, and test names joined by dots) contains <text>.
dotnet run -- --filter passing
