After that I have to add my dll ... with it like

VSTEST.CONSOLE.EXE C:/ABC.dll /logger:trx

How can i achieve this? Please guide me kindly

Answer 1

Call vstest.console.exe within your batch file, and pass the DLL as a command line argument.

Example .BAT:

start cmd /k ""%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\vstest.console.exe" "C:/ABC.dll" /Logger:trx"

Note: Edit it, so the path to vs.test.console.exe is correct for whatever version of VS you have installed.
