  Are there known limitations for how many unit tests you can open in Test Manager at once and run I did a simple test with 1,000 tests that simply did an Assert.IsTrue(true). This worked, although it took a while to run. I tried the same thing with 2,000 tests, and my machine pegged with VSTestManager.exe at 99% CPU for over 30-minutes before I killed it.

It looks very similar to the RUP approach, when the iteration scope varies depending of the current devel ...Show All
