I am curious if there is a difference between running a test by right-clicking it in the Test Explorer and selecting Run Selected Tests (1) or executing a test by selecting the Execute Test button (2)?

Hi Max,
The difference is very subtle. Both methods run the test and at the very core Test Studio code is called to run each step of the test. The differences are:
Clicking Execute at the top of the test steps causes the test to be run via our own ArtOfTest.Runner utility and present results directly in the test steps UI.
Clicking Run Selected Tests runs the test via Microsoft's MSTest utility (which in turn calls our DLL's to execute the test steps) and produces a Microsoft formatted .trx file with the results. This is also the method with which you can do true source code debugging of your coded steps.
That's about it.
