+# .NET testing samples
+
+This directory contains minimal examples that demonstrate how to use common .NET testing frameworks with different test platforms.
+
+## MSTest
+
+The MSTest samples demonstrate the same test using two different test platforms:
+
+- [VSTest](mstest/vstest)
+- [Microsoft.Testing.Platform](mstest/microsoft-testing-platform)
+
+### VSTest
+
+The VSTest sample uses MSTest with the VSTest platform.
+
+To run the sample from this directory:
+
+```bash
+dotnet test mstest/vstest/MSTestVSTest.csproj
+```
+
+### Microsoft.Testing.Platform
+
+The Microsoft.Testing.Platform sample uses `MSTest.Sdk` and the MSTest runner based on Microsoft.Testing.Platform.
+
+To run the sample from this directory:
+
+```bash
+dotnet test mstest/microsoft-testing-platform/MSTestMTP.csproj
+```
+
+Both samples contain the same minimal test so that the differences between the test platform configurations are easy to compare.
+
+Additional testing framework samples can be added in separate directories.
