Test Adapter Converter - This is an extension that converts from the Test Explorer UI API into native VS Code testing. You can use this by setting testExplorer.useNativeTesting: true in your user settings.
Test Explorer UI - This extension provides an extensible user interface for running your tests in VS Code. It can be used with any testing framework if there is a corresponding Test Adapter extension.
