Hi. Seems like a duplicate of #793

No #793 is for bdd style test cases only.

And this issue is to support native testing features of vs code for deno through deno extension or any other way to make DX more reliable and faster.

Please study vs code testing features first and see how important it is important to support it for developers.

Thank You.
