In this post, we discuss another member of TestContext called AddResultFile, which is defined as follows.

void AddResultFile(string filename)

Through TestContext.AddResulFile, additional files can be added with the test results. This additional files will be stored in the unique folder created for current test run, as mentioned. This might be useful in some cases, for example, if we are validating our objects with some external resource, like schema— we can store the schema with our test result so that we can validate our test result later on after test run.
