Light weight browser based test management and execution
Feb 12, 2013Charles Sterling
Summary
This post announces the addition of a lightweight, browser-based test management and execution feature to Visual Studio Update 2. It highlights the ability to view and edit test cases, plan-level filtering, creating new test cases (with noted limitations on parameters and shared steps compared to Microsoft Test Manager), removing test cases, and executing tests without client installation. Key new capabilities include pausing and resuming test execution, and saving attachments to test outcomes. It also addresses an issue where the 'TEST' hub might be hidden due to licensing problems on upgraded on-prem TFS installations and provides a workaround and contact for a private utility.
