Cause
This rule raises a diagnostic when an assignment to a static member of a TestContext parameter is done.
Rule description
The TestContext parameter passed to each initialize method ([AssemblyInitialize] or [ClassInitialize]) is specific to the current context and is not updated on each test execution. Storing, for reuse, this TextContext object will most of the time lead to issues.
How to fix violations
Do not store the [AssemblyInitialize] or [ClassInitialize] TestContext parameter.
