Using MSTest from the command line
You can use the MSTest.exe program to run automated tests in a test assembly from a command line. You can also view the test results from these test runs, save the results to disk, and save your results to Team Foundation Server.
Warning
MSTest is used to run load test in Visual Studio 2012. By default, unit tests and coded UI tests use VSTest.Console.exe in Visual Studio 2012. However, MSTest is used for compatibility with test projects created using Visual Studio 2010, or if a .testsettings file is manually added to a Visual Studio 2012 solution containing a unit test project, or coded UI test project.
You can also use tcm.exe to run test cases with associated automation from the command line using a test environment.
