Extract text from Test run configurations (TESTRUNCONFIG)
To convert TESTRUNCONFIG Configurations to another format, you need Microsoft Visual Studio or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Test Run Configuration File" file type, you need software like Microsoft Visual Studio or a similar tool.
The .testrunconfig file stores test run configurations for older versions of Microsoft Visual Studio (such as VS 2005 and VS 2008). It dictates how the MSTest framework executes unit tests, managing specific settings like timeouts, deployment items, host environments, and code coverage options.
This format is completely obsolete. Modern versions of Visual Studio have replaced it with testsettings and later the much more flexible .runsettings. Keeping legacy tests bound to .testrunconfig files causes immediate compatibility errors in modern CI/CD pipelines. Furthermore, because it relies on deprecated Visual Studio testing frameworks, it forces teams to maintain outdated developer tools just to read the configuration.
Developers typically need to convert this file into a modern .runsettings or standard XML file to update their testing infrastructure. Note that automated conversion often loses specific legacy environment variables that no longer exist in modern MSBuild or MSTest frameworks.
This file format is difficult to convert automatically because standard online converters do not understand the legacy Microsoft MSTest schema. Usually, only the original software or a manual rewrite can guarantee the data maps correctly.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TESTRUNCONFIG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert TESTRUNCONFIG file to , you can use Microsoft Visual Studio or similar software from the "Test Environment Configuration" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to TESTRUNCONFIG, try Microsoft Visual Studio or another comparable tool in the "Test Environment Configuration" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TESTRUNCONFIG converter.
