5. Use Execute Windows batch Command to add the project build and execution commands.

Dotnet build

To pass parameters at run time we use the .runsettings file. In our project, we are using browser parameters with the default value Chrome. To use the .runsettings file we can use the following test command

Dotnet test -s CalculatorFramework/test.runsettings

If we want to pass browser value at run time from Jenkins then we can use the following test command. Here browser value be replaced by the Jenkins choice parameter value.

Dotnet test — TestRunParameters.Parameter(name=\”Browser\”, value=\”%Browsers%\”)
