Visual Studio 2015 automatically adding ItemGroup with service tag defined within

Question

For all of my .csproj files for unit test projects, the following XML block is automatically added to the .csproj file:

  <ItemGroup>
      <Service Include="{82A7F48D-3B50-4B1E-B82E-3ADA8210C358}" />
  </ItemGroup>

What does this mean?, is it related to NUnit?

What more information do you want looking at the answers in [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18614342/what-is-service-include-in-a-csproj-file-for) SO question? — Jeroen Heier, Jul 01 '16 at 15:20
When seeing the 2 questions in my google results, this looked more like what I was looking for. I sometimes think there should be an option to merge questions that are duplicates. Often times, the "duplicate" is quite a bit newer, with newer/better answers. A good percentage of the time the "duplicate" has both a better worded question and a better answer that was given before it was marked as a duplicate. I would say this is true almost half the time. Merging would also mean that search ranking would not matter cause all links would lead to the merged Q/A. — Mike, Oct 05 '17 at 05:39

In summary... it's how VS tags the file as a test project for it's own purposes.
