Is it possible to combine unit tests into a list?

Question

I have a bunch of unit tests (Test1, Test2, etc.), but rather than having them run automatically, I'd like to do something similar to the following:

List<Test> tests = {
    Test1,
    Test2,
    Test3,
    ...
}

The goal of doing so is to be able to comment out/uncomment (enable/disable) swaths of tests easily to isolate the ones in which I'm immediately interested.

Is that possible, or am I stuck with adding/removiong [disabled] tags to every test header?

I'm new to C#, so please pardon the crummy answer. I just right click -> generate tests; is there a standard package? (I didn't install anything extra) — Benjin, Jun 21 '12 at 23:15

Visual Studio allows creation and running of Test Lists. Just pick Test -> Create Test List... from the menu. You can then run just the tests in any particular list you've defined.

Wow. Never even noticed there was a "Test" menu item. Thanks. – Benjin Jun 21 '12 at 23:26

If NUnit is an option, you can use the TestCaseAttribute. ReSharper really ties this in well with Visual Studio.

Based on this answer, MSTest doesn't support this.
