From within the Terminal window, type dotnet new mstest and hit Enter. Now, you need to restore your packages by typing dotnet restore into the Terminal window and hitting Enter.

You should now see a file named UnitTest1.cs within the Sample folder. If you open the file, it should look something like this:

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

namespace Sample
{
  [TestClass]
  public class UnitTest1
  {
    [TestMethod]
