Cause
A global test fixture method (marked with GlobalTestInitializeAttribute or GlobalTestCleanupAttribute) doesn't follow the required layout or has invalid configuration.
Rule description
Global test fixture methods must follow specific requirements to ensure proper test execution. This rule validates that methods marked with GlobalTestInitializeAttribute or GlobalTestCleanupAttribute adhere to the correct method signature and configuration rules.
The method must be public, static, non-generic, have a single parameter of type TestContext, and return void or Task. In addition, the containing type must be public, static, non-generic, and be marked with TestClassAttribute.
How to fix violations
Ensure that global test fixture methods follow the required layout.
When to suppress warnings
