• Refreshing the "Test View" fixed this for me. Removing and re-adding the reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework didn't solve my particular problem.
  

• I just had this issue appear whenever I activated the code coverage functionality. Setting the singing key file in the code coverage dialog page solved it...
  

• I also removed and re-added the reference without luck. Then I refreshed the test view and it worked.
