17. Running tests programmatically
Learning objectives
This section will introduce the TestRunnerApi, teaching you how to trigger a test run programmatically.
Intro and motivation
A recent new feature in the test framework is the addition of the TestRunnerApi. This api allows for interactions with the test framework programmatically, such as listing tests, running tests and receiving test results.
For details and examples, see the TestRunnerApi documentation.
Exercise
The sample 17_RunningTestsProgrammatically contains a mono behavior script called MyMonoBehaviour, which has a property for whether it has been configured. The project also contains a scene with multiple game objects with MyMonoBehaviour on them.
The task is to create a set of scene validation tests, which verifies that the scene MyScene.unity:
The scene contains precisely 5 game objects with
MyMonoBehaviouron them.All game objects with
MyMonoBehaviourmust haveIsConfiguredset to true
After these tests have been created, implement a MenuItem, which can trigger the test run of the scene validation tests, using the TestRunnerApi and report the result to the console log.
It is recommended to give your scene validation test a category, so it is easier to make a filter that runs those exclusively.
Hints
- Remember to include the test mode in the filter provided to

Solution
A full example solution for the excersise is available in the sample 17_RunningTestsProgrammatically_Solution.
