Description

I spent the better part to the day trying to make existing tests work with an UWP configuration.
Problem being that UWP apps are a completely different kind of breed, eg no console apps and unit test support is not yet the same like for other framework versions.

* `nunit` engine is not yet compatible with UWP apps.
* I did try the `NUnit Visual Studio Templates` ([Github](https://github.com/nunit/nunit-vs-templates) / [VS Extension Gallery](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=NUnitDevelopers.NUnitTemplatesforVisualStudio)) that have UWP support.
Tests did run correctly (as a separate app), but VS didn't recognize any of the nunit specific code highlighting everything as errors.
* `xunit`: seems to be the only UWP compatible one at the moment, but syntax is different to nunit which would mean rewriting all tests
* VS does provide a `Unit Test App (Universal Windows)` template of its own, but the available methods seem subpar to nunit, e.g. `DataSource` attribute to feed different data do a test method seems to accept database connections only. Haven't found a way to feed a list of file names like with nunit's `TestCaseSource`.
Also different syntax compared to nunit.
