 All notable changes to the "Norn" extension will be documented in this file.
 
+## [1.1.2] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Added
+- **VS Code Test Explorer Integration**: Run test sequences from the Testing sidebar
+  - Automatic test discovery for all `.norn` files
+  - Tests grouped by tag (`@smoke`, `@regression`, etc.)
+  - Colorful streaming output with ANSI colors
+  - Persistent output when selecting tests
+  - Detailed failure info with expected vs actual diffs
+  - Request/response details for failed HTTP calls
+
+- **Parameterized Tests**: Data-driven testing with `@data` and `@theory` annotations
+  - `@data(1, "Widget")` syntax for inline test data
+  - `@theory("./testdata.json")` for external data files
+  - Typed value parsing (numbers, booleans, strings)
+  - Each data row creates a separate test case in Test Explorer
+  - Example: `@data(1, 200)` with `test sequence ValidateStatus(id, expectedStatus)`
+
+- **Test Sequence Validation**: Diagnostics for test annotations
+  - Error if `@data`/`@theory` used on regular sequences (must use `test sequence`)
+  - Error if tags like `@smoke` used on regular sequences
+  - Error if test sequence has required params but no `@data`/`@theory`
+
+### Improved
+- **Test Explorer Output**: Rich colorized output with icons
+  - HTTP methods in cyan, status codes color-coded (green/red/yellow)
+  - Checkmarks for passed assertions, X for failures
+  - Clear test headers when running multiple tests
+  - Duration shown for each test

+## Test Explorer
+
+Run tests directly from VS Code's Testing sidebar:
+
+- **Automatic Discovery**: Test sequences appear in the Testing view
+- **Tag Grouping**: Tests organized by tags (`@smoke`, `@regression`, etc.)
+- **Colorful Output**: ANSI-colored results with icons and status codes
+- **Persistent Output**: Select a test to see its full output anytime
+- **Failure Details**: Expected vs actual diffs, request/response info
+
+### Parameterized Tests
+
+Use `@data` for data-driven testing - each data row becomes a separate test:
+
+```bash
+# Single parameter - runs 3 times with id = 1, 2, 3
+@data(1, 2, 3)
+test sequence TodoTest(id)
+    GET {{baseUrl}}/todos/{{id}}
+    assert $1.status == 200
+    assert $1.body.id == {{id}}
+end sequence
+
+# Multiple parameters - runs 2 times
+@data(1, "delectus aut autem")
+@data(2, "quis ut nam facilis")
+test sequence TodoTitleTest(id, expectedTitle)
+    GET {{baseUrl}}/todos/{{id}}
+    assert $1.status == 200
+    assert $1.body.title == "{{expectedTitle}}"
+end sequence
+
+# Typed values (numbers, booleans, strings)
+@data(1, true, "active")
+@data(2, false, "inactive")
+test sequence UserStatusTest(userId, isActive, status)
+    GET {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
+    assert $1.status == 200
+end sequence
+```
+
+Use `@theory` for external data files:
+
+```bash
+@theory("./testdata.json")
+test sequence DataFileTest(id, name)
+    GET {{baseUrl}}/items/{{id}}
+    assert $1.body.name == "{{name}}"
+end sequence
+```
+
+Where `testdata.json` contains:
+```json
+[
+  {"id": 1, "name": "Widget"},
+  {"id": 2, "name": "Gadget"}
+]
+```
