This "beaker" Icon represents a project which has been created with the Unit Test Project Template in Visual Studio:

Unit Test Project

I am not certain about your Visual Studio version but it should be at least 2012. Having said that the icon could differ in different VS versions.

P.S: If the solution you posted is under your control consider renaming the project to something useful, e.g. BusinessDataGlobalsTest.

  • actually it is not a unit test project, don't suppose you know how to tell VS that? Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 21:01
  • You can unload the project and then edit the project file. Delete evey Unit Test related tag in the <PropertyGroup> like <IsCodedUITest> and <TestProjectType>. But cleaner way would be to create a new project from scratch and add the existing code files to the new project.
