An MTP extension (`Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CrashDump`) that automatically captures a process memory dump when the test host crashes. Useful for diagnosing unexpected process termination during test runs.

### CtrfReport

An MTP extension (`Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CtrfReport`) that generates a [CTRF](https://github.com/ctrf-io/ctrf) (Common Test Report Format) JSON report at the end of a test run. CTRF is a vendor-neutral open standard for structured test results, consumed by GitHub Actions test-summary tools, Slack/Teams notifiers, dashboards, and other CI tooling. Enable via `--report-ctrf`; override the output filename with `--report-ctrf-filename`. When using [MSTest.Sdk](#mstestsdk), opt in with `<EnableMicrosoftTestingExtensionsCtrfReport>true</EnableMicrosoftTestingExtensionsCtrfReport>`. Currently **experimental** — the CLI options and output format may change without notice.

A sealed class (`Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.PlannedTest`, currently `[Experimental("MSTESTEXP")]`) that describes a test that has been discovered and passed the active filter for the current assembly, before execution begins. Exposes the test's `FullyQualifiedTestClassName`, `TestName`, `TestDisplayName`, `AssemblyPath`, `ManagedTypeName`, `ManagedMethodName`, source file location (`DeclaringFilePath`, `DeclaringLineNumber`), `TestCategories` (from `[TestCategory]`), and `TestProperties` (from `[TestProperty]`). Instances are accessed via `TestRun.Current.PlannedTests`. Data-driven tests whose rows are resolved only at execution time (non-serializable data, `TestDataSourceUnfoldingStrategy.Fold` set via `[TestMethod(UnfoldingStrategy = TestDataSourceUnfoldingStrategy.Fold)]`, `[DataSource]`) appear as a single `PlannedTest` entry rather than one per row. See also [TestRun](#testrun) and RFC 014 (`docs/RFCs/014-TestRun-Current-PlannedTests.md`).

### --progress
Comment thread
Evangelink marked this conversation as resolved.

An MTP terminal-reporter command-line option that controls whether animated progress output is shown during a test run. Accepts three values:

| Value | Behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `auto` (default) | Show progress unless the terminal cannot update in place (non-ANSI/simple terminal), or the session is a test-host controller, `--list-tests`, or server mode |
| `on` | Same as `auto` (a dedicated heartbeat renderer for non-cursor modes is tracked separately) |
| `off` | Suppress all progress output |

Introduced in [PR #9145](https://github.com/microsoft/testfx/pull/9145) as a replacement for the former `--no-progress` flag. `--no-progress` continues to work as a deprecated alias that routes to `--progress off` and emits a one-per-process deprecation warning on stderr; `--progress` always wins when both are supplied.

### PropertyBag

An MTP class (`Microsoft.Testing.Platform.Extensions.Messages.PropertyBag`) that holds a typed collection of `IProperty` instances attached to a [TestNode](#testnode). Extension authors populate a `PropertyBag` with properties such as `TimingProperty`, `TestFileLocationProperty`, and `TestMetadataProperty` to communicate rich metadata about a test to the platform and to other extensions. A `PropertyBag` enforces that at most one `TestNodeStateProperty` may be present at a time.
