## Supported target frameworks

Microsoft.Testing.Platform supports .NET (.NET 8 SDK and later), .NET Framework (versions 4.6.2 and later), and targets NETStandard 2.0 for maximum compatibility with other runtimes.

## Run and debug tests

`Microsoft.Testing.Platform` test projects are built as executables that can be run (or debugged) directly. There's no extra test running console or command. The app exits with a nonzero exit code if there's an error, which is typical for most executables. For more information on the known exit codes, see [Microsoft.Testing.Platform exit codes](microsoft-testing-platform-exit-codes.md).
