.NET Framework

.NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher must be installed on the target machine.

dotTEST is bundled with .NET Framework 4.7.2, which is installed automatically when dotTEST is installed.

Build Utilities

dotTEST requires Visual Studio IDE or Visual Studio Build Tools to be installed on the same machine to analyze the tested project.

Visual C++ Redistribution Packages

The Visual C++ Redistribution Packages are required to perform analysis and testing with dotTEST. If you install dotTEST with the executable installer, the Visual C++ Redistribution Packages are automatically installed in your machine.
