To enable this mode, you should add a `dotnet.config` file to the root of the repository or solution.

```toml
```ini
[dotnet.test:runner]
name = "Microsoft.Testing.Platform"
```

> [!NOTE]
> The format will change from `dotnet.test:runner` to `dotnet.test.runner` in .NET 10 SDK Preview 4.

The `dotnet test` command builds the solution and runs the tests with either VSTest or Microsoft Testing Platform (MTP). To enable MTP, you need to add a config file named `dotnet.config` with an INI-like format located at the root of the solution or repository.

Some examples of the `dotnet.config` file:

```toml
```ini
[dotnet.test:runner]
name = "Microsoft.Testing.Platform"
```

```toml
```ini
[dotnet.test:runner]
name = "VSTest"
```

> [!NOTE]
> The format will change from `dotnet.test:runner` to `dotnet.test.runner` in .NET 10 SDK Preview 4.

> [!TIP]
> For conceptual documentation about `dotnet test`, see [Testing with dotnet test](../testing/unit-testing-with-dotnet-test.md).
