I would like to execute below command continuously until a key is pressed. As an example:

How can I do this?

You can use a do{...}until() with [console]::KeyAvailable

do
{
    test-Connection -ComputerName google.com -Count 1
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
}
until([Console]::KeyAvailable)

but how to specify the port 42424? I need to specify it and parameter -TcpPort does not work. Using its successor cmdlet, TestNet-Connection I can specify a port using -Port parameter. How could I do this using TestNet-Connection cmdlet instead?

I'm not sure what that has to do with the question you asked about. Perhaps you can find an existing question/answer on that topic, otherwise create a new question about it.

Well, in the post I detailed to perfom a TestNet-Connection cmdlet on a machine and port.

I tweaked Doug Maurer's answer and it works for me. It runs the TEST-NETCONNECTION command continuously until you click any key on your keyboard.

do
{
    TEST-NETCONNECTION google.com -port 443
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
}
until([Console]::KeyAvailable)
