My cake version is 3.0.
I have some xunit tests in my project and would like to use dotnetcoretest in my cake script. The link (https://cakebuild.net/api/Cake.Incubator.DotNetCoreTestExtensions/DotNetCoreTestExtensions/BFD20FC8) indicated that it is a 3rd party extension provided by cake.incubator. However, the latest cake.incubator is 7.0.0 and works only for cake 2.0 - 2.3 (https://cakebuild.net/extensions/cake-incubator/)
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

If you're able to run your tests with dotnet test you can use the .NET test aliases which are shipped as part of Cake.

DotNetCoreTest from Cake.Incubator internally calls this alias while providing a settings object specific to XUnit which is passed as arguments (see https://github.com/cake-contrib/Cake.Incubator/blob/develop/src/Cake.Incubator/DotNetCoreTestExtensions.cs#L54). If you require these parameters you can also pass them yourself to DotNetTest using the overload which accepts a ProcessArgumentBuilder: https://cakebuild.net/api/Cake.Common.Tools.DotNet/DotNetAliases/E12827F8
