About this skill

What it does. Checks the installed MSTest version and project setup, then rewrites existing tests with compatible assertions, data-driven patterns, lifecycle, cancellation, timeout and condition handling. It also covers MSTESTxxxx diagnostics and repository-specific conventions, and verifies edited tests when execution is allowed.

When to use it. Use it to fix, update, modernise or explain existing MSTest tests and configuration. It does not design new test cases, run tests, migrate MSTest versions, configure CI/CD, or handle other .NET test frameworks.
