I want to output some additional information about a test run that I can quickly visualize. This does not affect the test result.
I'm familiar with Assert.Inconclusive(String) but I want the test to pass / endure myself.
Assert.Inconclusive(String)
You can also use TestContext.WriteLine() to record dry run information.
TestContext.WriteLine()
This information will appear in the Additional Information heading in the test run results window.
In my opinion, you should use Trace.Write () to print info messages before calling Assert methods. It's really a matter of preference, but Trace.Write () seems to be the tool for the job.
