Ideally, should support both execution and development on Windows, Mac and Linux. It should be suitable for porting as a Visual Studio extension.

List of contenders... feel free to add others...

Windows Forms
WPF
Avalonia
Javascript (several frameworks are possible)

immeraufdemhund commented 4 years ago

how would one use a javascript framework to work as a visual studio extension? I was just looking that up a minute ago?

immeraufdemhund commented 4 years ago

Avalonia looks neat cause of the cross platform

Re Javascript: the UI would be invoked from the extension, probably hosted in docked panels.

I'm doing experiments with Avalonia right now.

Because the code already exists, TestCentric 2.0 will use Windows Forms. Discussion of a future platform will wait for a possible 3.0 version. I've updated the issue title to reflect this.
