## Getting other tests
If your tests depends on another test, it's possible to retrieve that test's context. This allows you to do things like check its result, or retrieve objects from its object bag.
If your tests depends on another test, it's possible to retrieve that test's context. This allows you to do things like check its result, or retrieve objects from its state bag.

This is done by calling the `GetTests` method on a `TestContext` object. It takes the test's method name (so you can use `nameof(...)`) and optionally the parameter types for if there's multiple overloads.

You'll notice this returns an array - This is because tests may be data driven and be invoked multiple times - If this is the case you'll have to find the one you want yourself.
