MStests taking too long to load

Question

I have a project setup to use MSTests but they are simply taking too long to load all the the test DLLs, before even loading my project specific DLLs.

I´m on Visual Stud

Answer 1

Actually, after some research I found out that the main culprit was the usage of TestSettings1.testsettings instead of test.runsettings.

After a bit of time adapting the tests, (mostly due to the lack of Global DeploymentItems, which I solved using a base class), the tests are now running under 10s which is way better.

Think there´s still room for improvement though, but I´m at least satisfied for now
