Workflow: How to create a test

To create a test, do the following:

  1. Create your Test assembly folder and select it in the Project window.
  2. Click the button Create Test Script in current folder option in the Test Runner window.

EditMode create test script

  1. It creates a NewTestScript.cs file in the Tests folder. Change the name of the script, if necessary, and press Enter to accept it.

NewTestScript.cs

Now you’ll see two sample tests in the Test Runner window:

Test templates

Now you can open the tests in your favorite script editor.

You can also create test scripts by navigating to Assets > Create > Testing > C# Test Script, unless adding a test script would result in a compilation error.

Note: Unity does not include TestAssemblies (NUnit, Unity Test Framework, and user script assemblies) when using the normal build pipeline, but does include them when using Run on <Platform> in the Test Runner window.

Filters

If you have a lot of tests, and you only want to view/run a sub-set of them, you can filter them in three ways (see image above):

  • Type in the search box in the top left

  • Click a test class or fixture (such as NewTestScript in the image above)

  • Click one of the test result icon buttons in the top right
