Introduced in version 3.3.0

Cause

A method that's not marked with xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestMethodAttribute has one or more test attributes applied to it.

Rule description

The following test attributes should only be applied on methods marked with the xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestMethodAttribute attribute:

  • xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.CssIterationAttribute
  • xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.CssProjectStructureAttribute
  • xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.DescriptionAttribute
  • xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.ExpectedExceptionAttribute
  • xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.OwnerAttribute
  • xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.PriorityAttribute
  • xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestPropertyAttribute
  • xref:Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.WorkItemAttribute

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, either convert the method on which you applied the test attributes to a test method by setting the [TestMethod] attribute or remove the test attributes altogether.

When to suppress warnings

Do not suppress a warning from this rule. If you ignore this rule, your attributes will be ignored since they are designed for use only in a test context.
