Run specific unit test in Visual Studio

I have dozens of unit tests, and I'd like to fix the code I am working on now, but every time I run the test开发者_StackOverflow中文版s it takes over 30 seconds to run every unit test (I think reflection is the cause of some of these being especially slow). My current test and many other tests take less than one second to run, but it is annoying to disable and then enable specific unit tests.

Is there a way to say, "For now, run a single, specific test?"

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with the built-in unit test system. I create tests by right-clicking any code and selecting "create unit test" which creates a project.

Resharper and Test Driven .Net both have this feature in their visual studio test-runners. There may well be other VS plugins too.

According to this answer (By Jon Skeet no less) it is possible in Visual studio natively too. To debug a single test:

Click on a test method name, then press Ctrl+R, Ctrl+T. (Or go to Test / Debug / Tests in Current Context.)

EDIT: (based on a comment from Justin R below) to run a test (as opposed to debugging it) the command is simply:

Ctrl+R, T

@Andrew M's answer is awesome, but I wanted to know where the keyboard shotcuts come from. All you have to do is:

1. Right click your test function name.
2. Select Run Test or Debug Test.

First, click somewhere inside the TestMethod you want to run, or highlight multiple methods. You can also click on the class or namespace if you want to run all TestMethods within that class/namespace.

Using The Test Tools Toolbar

1. Make sure the Test Tools Toolbar is visible (View → Toolbars → Test Tools).

Using The Test Menu

Run: Test → Run → Tests in Current Context

Debug: Test → Debug → Tests in Current Context

Using Shortcuts

Run: Ctrl+R,T

Debug:Ctrl+R,Ctrl+T
