Unit Test Explorer is used to:
- Browse unit tests in built projects.
- Select tests to include into test sessions that are run in the Unit Test Sessions window.
- Run coverage analysis for selected unit tests.
Note
dotCover shares the unit test support with another JetBrains .NET developer tool,
ReSharper
. These two tools have the same
unit test runner engines as well as Unit Test Explorer and
Unit Test Sessions windows.
If you install dotCover after ReSharper, dotCover disables its own unit test runner
so that you can continue using ReSharper's unit test commands and windows;
all additional dotCover commands are integrated in ReSharper menus.
