Summary

Adds focused guidance for readers who want an AI coding assistant to create, assess, improve, or migrate tests. The MTP AI article now distinguishes runtime AI integrations from coding-agent workflows and points to a small set of relevant skills and agents. The VSTest-to-MTP guide adds one targeted migration callout instead of repeating the full plugin catalog.

The guidance is adapted from the dotnet-test and dotnet-test-migration plugin documentation in dotnet/skills. The documentation changes were created with AI assistance.

Fixes: N/A

What changed in this PR

This PR updates .NET testing documentation to help readers distinguish MTP runtime AI integration packages from coding-agent workflows, and it adds targeted pointers to .NET Agent Skills for test creation, quality auditing, testability improvements, and VSTest-to-MTP migration automation.

Changes:

  • Added a new section to the MTP AI integrations article that recommends specific .NET Agent Skills for common test workflows.
  • Added a TIP in the VSTest-to-MTP migration guide that points to the relevant migration agent/skill and plugins.
  • Updated ms.date metadata in both articles.
