  2. Open the Test Runner window (menu: Window > General > Test Runner).

Alternatively, use the Asset menu:

  1. In the Project window, select the new folder.

This creates a NewTestScript.cs file in the Tests folder with some sample tests to get you started. Change the name of the script, if necessary, and press Enter to accept it.

The Project window displays the newly created NewTestScript.cs file in the Tests subfolder of the Assets folder.

Creating Play mode tests

The process for creating a Play mode test is the same as for creating an Edit mode test. The only difference is that Play mode tests that need to run in a standalone platform Player should be in an assembly that references the required platform.
