# Running tests from code

> Run tests from code with the TestRunnerAPI.

You can invoke Unity Test Framework's test runner from code with the [`TestRunnerAPI`](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.test-framework@latest/index.html?subfolder=/api/UnityEditor.TestTools.TestRunner.Api.TestRunnerApi.html) class, which lets you control which tests are run and retrieve test data and results.
