+
+## Cause
+
+A global test fixture method (marked with `GlobalTestInitializeAttribute` or `GlobalTestCleanupAttribute`) doesn't follow the required layout or has invalid configuration.
+
+## Rule description
+
+Global test fixture methods must follow specific requirements to ensure proper test execution. This rule validates that methods marked with `GlobalTestInitializeAttribute` or `GlobalTestCleanupAttribute` adhere to the correct method signature and configuration rules.
+
+The method must be `public`, `static`, non-generic, have a single parameter of type `TestContext`, and return `void` or `Task`. In addition, the containing type must be `public`, `static`, non-generic, and be marked with `TestClassAttribute`.
+
+## How to fix violations
+
+Ensure that global test fixture methods follow the required layout.
+
+## When to suppress warnings
+
+Don't suppress warnings from this rule. Invalid global test fixture methods will not execute at run-time.
