Data-driven tests in Test Explorer
After one run, all test cases appear in the VS Code Test Explorer. Running selections and debugging work as usual.

Where they talk about it

Quotes
- no validated quote falls inside this feature's time range
Caveats mentioned
- Test cases only appear after the test has been run once
Documented features match
- Build extensible and data-driven AL test suites - medium confidence (llm). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573333. Data-driven tests
- Product documentation (partial, the article describes the broader feature or mentions this in passing): Run AL tests from Visual Studio Code with Test Explorer, checked 2026-10-02. The Test Explorer automatically detects test codeunits and test methods in the active workspace. Note: 2026 wave 1 article; does not mention data-driven cases appearing individually.
Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
