Can MSTest run a specific method every time it starts?

Question

Question

Is there a way to have a method that will always run anytime the test build starts through MSTest?

Similar to how the [TestInitialize] and [ClassInitialize] attributes work, but for the entire assembly. I do not want to add code to every method of the [ClassInitialize] class.

Reasoning

Some of my tests interact with the database. They delete data and other things that will be very harmful to the production database. There is only a configuration file that tells my unit test project to work with a non-production database.

I would be better off if there was a method that started at startup that would say: "Database window is not" Production "

Ideas

Log4Net uses the assembly attribute to configure.

using log4net.Config; [assembly: XmlConfigurator()] 

Maybe I can do something simliar?

 [assembly: CheckDatabaseNameNot("production")]

Have you tried [AssemblyInitialize]?
