Powershell Running MSTest.exe with multiple tests - how to output only failed tests?

I have a string of all the tests I want to run with MSTest.exe, and I want to output only if there are errors, failed tests and perhaps warnings.



A part of the Powershell script (the ... stands for many more /testcontainer:Test....dll).



# sb is a string builder
$sb = "C:...MSTest.exe" /testcontainer:Test....dll ... /testcontainer:Test...dll

cmd.exe /c $sb.ToString()


Currently it outputs everything (A lot of "Test passed" for example - which I don't need to see).



I tried looking in the MSTest command line options docs but couldn't find any.



How can I output only the important stuff?



Edit: I'm open to change the testing environment if this feature exists there.

  • You can try to use usestderr to forward failed tests to different stream. Then, you can use -ErrorVariable switch to get them.

  • Spit it out in a results file and parse the results
