If you console Application returns some value, you could analyse it in your test, something like:

Process P = Process.Start(path, param);
P.WaitForExit();
int result = P.ExitCode;
Assert.AreEqual(0, result);

path is path to your console application exe and param are parameters you want to provide..

There are probably many ways to tackle this issue, however, given the little details, there are two ways which I can come up with

Starting the app in another process

var consoleApp = Process.Start("path/to/your/app.exe");
consoleApp.WaitForExit();

Executing the Main Method of the App

This would be the best way to do it, provided the UnitTestProject has a reference to your ConsoleApp (Project or assembly-reference)

Program.Main();
