Add TimingProperty with step timing to internal test framework test nodes

[Copilot]

The internal test framework (TestFramework.ForTestingMSTest) was not reporting timing information for test executions.

Changes

• Capture timing in ExecuteTestNodeRunAsync: Record start time before test execution, add TimingProperty in finally block to ensure timing is always reported
• Add step timing for test phases: Track timing separately for each phase (initialization, test execution, cleanup) using StepTimingInfo
• Return step timing from helper methods: Modified TryRunSetupMethodAsync, RunTestMethodAsync, and RunTestTeardownAsync to return tuples containing both the result and step timing
• Extract CreateTimingProperty helper: Centralize timing calculation to reduce duplication

Implementation

DateTimeOffset startTime = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;
List<StepTimingInfo> stepTimings = new();

try
{
    // Collect step timing for each phase
    (object? testClassInstance, StepTimingInfo? setupTiming) = await TryRunSetupMethodAsync(...);
    if (setupTiming is not null)
    {
        stepTimings.Add(setupTiming);
    }
    // ... similar for test and cleanup phases
}
finally
{
    testNode.Properties.Add(CreateTimingProperty(startTime, stepTimings));
}

private static TimingProperty CreateTimingProperty(DateTimeOffset startTime, List<StepTimingInfo> stepTimings)
{
    DateTimeOffset endTime = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;
    TimeSpan duration = endTime - startTime;
    return new TimingProperty(new TimingInfo(startTime, endTime, duration), [.. stepTimings]);
}

All test nodes (passed and error states) now include timing information with detailed breakdown by phase:

• init: Test initialization (constructor)
• test: Test method execution
• cleanup: Test cleanup (dispose)

This provides both global timing and per-phase timing for performance analysis and test reporting.

Have you seen problem with Visual Studio with test class time calculation?

and look like VS summarize time for tests execution for class

Hi @Romfos,

Thanks for raising your feedback. I'd be ideal to create a custom issues but in this case this is a known issue of Test Explorer (owned by a different team), it'd be amazing if you could report it using the VS feedback button.
