[Texttest-users] IDE support for TextTest, Rider

[Emily B. <em...@ba...>]

Hi,

Geoff and I have been doing some work this week on improving the developer experience when using TextTest while developing code in an IDE like Visual Studio or PyCharm.

One thing we ran into was that IDEs generally have a way to import test results, but the format is not consistent. In the JetBrains world of IDEs there is some consistency, but Rider (for C#) is different, and I filed this bug:

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-91008/export-import-unit-test-results-in-same-xml-format-as-intellij-pycharm-clion-etc <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-91008/export-import-unit-test-results-in-same-xml-format-as-intellij-pycharm-clion-etc>

The other IDEs in the JetBrains family all use a proprietary xml format which is at least consistent between IntelliJ, PyCharm and CLion. 

If you like the idea of being able to run TextTest from Rider and see the test results there, and be able to click on stack traces for example, you could help by up-voting this issue. I believe you need to register for a free account before they will let you vote.

Regards,
Emily
