Hi,

It would be great if there was a small "Failed Tests" window that displays a list of all failed tests. I would dock it below the Solution Explorer. This would help me quickly locate and fix all failed tests.

I know the "Tests" window, but it's too large and displays lots of unnecessary info when all I want to do is just locate and fix tests.

Hi Yang -

Can you think of modifications that could be made to the Tests Window to allow it to fit in a smaller space?

I'm of a mind to try and limit the number of tool windows, as there are already so many. Do you think that adding an option to hide the toolbar would help?

Understood.

Yes, an option to hide both toolbar and error message would be cool.

Just a thought. I think maybe the visibility of the toolbar and error message should be binded to the size of the Tests window. They are hidden when the Tests window becomes too small.

This way, when I dock the Tests window below the Solution Explorer, the toolbar and error message would be hidden automatically. When I want to see more details, I can unpin the Tests window (auto hide), and the toolbar would appear automatically.

This is a really great suggestion, as these options are fairly useless when the tool window is too small anyway .. and it saves needing to have extra configuration options (which are more complex to both develop and understand). Thanks for the tip!
