After you have created any of the following types of automated tests by using Visual Studio, you can use Microsoft Test Manager or Visual Studio to run the tests: Unit tests. Coded UI tests. Load tests.

Running automated tests: You can run tests directly from Visual Studio, from Microsoft Test Manager, from Team Foundation Build, or from the command line. You can use mstest.exe to run your automated tests from the command line, or you can use tcm.exe to import your test methods into test cases. You can then run the test cases for specific configurations from the command line and save the results for the appropriate test plan.

Significant investments were made in Visual Studio 2012 Unit Testing to make it extensible. A number of frameworks and test runners have built adapters for Visual Studio. Peter Provost maintains a list of Plugins here. For Javascript Unit Testing in Visual Studio, Matthew Mannela has released Chutzpah, an open source Javascript Test Runner.  Chutzpah has a test adapter for Visual Studio 2012. With this adapter, you can run QUnit & Jasmine tests in Visual Studio.

Visual Studio Editions' Support for SQL Server Unit Tests The SQL Server unit tests feature, which was added in the December 2012 update of SQL Server Data Tools, allows you to create, modify, and run SQL Server unit tests in Visual Studio 2010 Professional and Visual Studio 2012 Professional and higher editions.

Python Tools for Visual Studio includes support for discovering, executing and debugging unit tests. This allows you to author your tests and run them without having to switch to a command prompt.

Visual Studio 2012 includes the following command-line tools for testing purposes: VSTest.Console.exe You can use the VSTest.Console.exe program to run automated unit and coded UI tests from a command line. VSTest.Console.exe is optimized for performance and is used in place of MSTest.exe in Visual Studio 2012. MSTest.exe You can use the MSTest.exe program to run automated tests in a test assembly from a command line. MSTest is used for load tests and for compatibility with Visual Studio 2010 test projects. MSTest can also be used to view the test results from these test runs, save the results to disk, and save your results to Team Foundation Server. TCM.exe Tcm.exe is a command-line utility that lets you perform the following tasks: Import automated tests into a test plan Run tests that are part of a test plan from the command line View a list of test items and their corresponding IDs to use when you import tests or run tests You can also use tcm.exe to run test cases with associated automation from the command line using a test environment.

By default the API return XML, but we’ll use JSON here, as it’s also becoming a standard. To do so we must add  the following code in the register() method located in the file WebApiConfig.cs config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Remove( config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.FirstOrDefault(t => t.MediaType == 'application/xml'));

If you want to do test-driven development for databases, SQL Test is the place to start. It lets you write database unit tests in T-SQL and run them in SQL Server Management Studio.
