Make Testing more approachable #210152

@isidorn

Description

@isidorn

Based on our brainstorm here are some action items we could do:
-[ ] Show testing viewlet even if there is no testing extension installed (and the user has opened a folder in VS Code) @connor4312
* The testing viewlet without a test extension should show the welcome view. And have a "blue button" to take users to the Extensions view with category:testing. Optional: have smart detection to identify what test extension is best suited for the workspace.

  • Recommend test extensions using current notification when a specific test config file is open @isidorn
  • Check with Python team if the testing setup can be more automatic, and that it does not require a manual configure @isidorn
  • Revisit the testing docs, and make sure all the latest features are covered @ntrogh

I am opportunistically assigning this to May.
