Adds /docs/guide/guide.md as a detailed reference for developers integrating the TestResults library.

Content Structure

  • Introduction: Library purpose, use cases, and supported formats (TRX/JUnit)
  • Prerequisites: .NET 8/9/10 requirements and tooling
  • Adding to Project: Installation via dotnet CLI, Visual Studio Package Manager, and manual reference
  • Creating Test Results: 15+ complete examples covering:
    • Basic and advanced test result creation
    • Both TRX and JUnit serialization
    • All 14 test outcomes (Passed, Failed, Error, Timeout, etc.)
    • Output capture (SystemOutput, SystemError)
    • Test metadata (duration, timestamps, computer name)
    • Bidirectional format conversion
  • Advanced Usage: Extension methods, result aggregation, filtering, summary reporting
  • FAQ: 12 common questions including format support, conversion, thread safety, framework integration

Example Usage

using DemaConsulting.TestResults;
using DemaConsulting.TestResults.IO;

var results = new TestResults { Name = "MyTests" };

results.Results.Add(new TestResult
{
    Name = "Test1",
    ClassName = "MyTests",
    CodeBase = "MyAssembly",
    Outcome = TestOutcome.Passed,
    Duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1.5)
});

File.WriteAllText("results.trx", TrxSerializer.Serialize(results));
File.WriteAllText("results.xml", JUnitSerializer.Serialize(results));

All code examples include necessary using statements and are fully runnable.
