When to suppress warnings

Do not suppress a warning from this rule. If you ignore this rule, the public method won't be considered as a test method.

Suppress a warning

If you just want to suppress a single violation, add preprocessor directives to your source file to disable and then re-enable the rule.

#pragma warning disable MSTEST0029
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore MSTEST0029

To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none in the configuration file.
