Microsoft Unit Testing Framework - Using Test Context to determine test result

When creating your test automation, and you need to run a procedure when the test did not pass. Use the TestContext.CurrentTestOutcome property. This property will determine the result of the test in the Microsoft Unit Testing Framework.

In this following example I wanted to capture a screen shot only if the result had failed.

[TestCleanup]
     public void CleanUpTest()
     {
         if(TestContext.CurrentTestOutcome!=UnitTestOutcome.Passed)
         {
             Tool.GetScreenShot();
             Tool.SaveScreenShot();
      
         }

 
     }

The TestContext.CurrentTestOutcome property will reference a UnitTestOutcome enumerator. In the above example, if the test hadn't passed, then on clean up I will take a screen shot, and then save all screen shots to a result file. .
