Running tests from other assembly with MSTest

I have an issue here, as soon as I hit compile , mstest cmd prompt shows up then it crashes/goes away and my test won't get executed. This is the code : 

 public void test(String testContainer, String testName)
    {

       // String Path = @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 Common7\IDE\mstest.exe";
          String Path = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe";
       // String Path = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat""";



         Process myProcess = new Process();
       // ProcessStartInfo myProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(Path, "/testsettings:local.testsettings /testcontainer:" + testContainer + " /test:" + testName);
       ProcessStartInfo myProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(Path, "MSTest/testcontainer:" + testContainer + " /test:" + testName + @"/testcategory:""ActionCol""");

       myProcessStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; 
       myProcess.StartInfo = myProcessStartInfo;

       myProcess.Start();
      // MessageBox.Show(x + "\n" + y);
    }

And this is how I call this method : 

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            x = @"C:\Users\butoiu.edward\Desktop\Lucru\SimarpiUnitTest\GestcollTestSolution\CodedUITestProject\bin\Debug\GestcollTestProject.dll";
            y = "ActionCollInsert";
            test(x, y);
        }

What am I doing wrong ? Really need some help here, thanks in advance

EDIT 1 - this is how a testmethod looks like in my other project., forgot to mention I have 2 projects under the same solution ( doesn't change a thing, but I think it's worth mentioning)

[TestMethod(), TestCategory("ActionCol")]
        public void ActionCollInsert()
        {
            MessageBox.Show("test");

            //using the proper map
            var actionColTest = new ActionColMap();
            //actionColTest.ActionColOpen1();

            // actionColTest.ActionColSlider();
            actionColTest.ActionColHideCollumns();

            actionColTest.ActionColInsert();

            actionColTest.ActionColInsertCode();
            actionColTest.ActionColInsertDesc();
            actionColTest.ActionColSave();

        }

EDIT2 - How I start DEV-CMD - using shell to start my cmd from it's shortcut's position fixed up things for me.As I fixed this issue, a new one appeared. I can't pass arguments into the cmd, I mean nothing happens.

public void test(String testContainer, String testName)
        {

           //   String Path = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\mstest.exe";
            String Path = @"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio 2012\Visual Studio Tools\Developer Command Prompt for VS2012.lnk"; 

             Process myProcess = new Process();
           // ProcessStartInfo myProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(Path, "/testsettings:local.testsettings /testcontainer:" + testContainer + " /test:" + testName);
           ProcessStartInfo myProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(Path, "MSTest/testcontainer:" + testContainer + " /test:" + testName );

            myProcessStartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
            myProcessStartInfo.Arguments = "blah blah"; // - this ain't working !!!!
            myProcess.StartInfo = myProcessStartInfo;

           myProcess.Start();

        }

EDIT3 - I am able to start a cmd and pass some arguments to it ( source : Passing an argument to cmd.exe). But changing the path to my dev cmd prompt will not insert automatically the parameter. Need some help, /c has no effect on dev cmd.

            ProcessStartInfo proc = new ProcessStartInfo();
            proc.FileName = Path;
            proc.Arguments = @"/c ping 10.2.2.125";
            proc.UseShellExecute = true;
            Process.Start(proc);

You can try creating Batch script which can build environment for mstest and trigger the test accordingly

please find below example. you just need to replace correct path for vcvarsall.bat for your system

cd\
cd "Program Files <x86>"\"Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0"\VC
call "vcvarsall.bat"
cd\
C:
Mstest /testcontainer:Test.dll /resultsfile:result.trx
