While creating test plan one thing you need to keep in mind
the configuration against which your test cases needs to be run. Configuration
can be anything like browser, OS, .net version, different version of your
product or may be different environment i.e. test, staging etc.
So after your test execution you would like to have test
result against each configuration.
Test configuration manager in MTM allows you to have as many
test point of your test case depending upon the number of configuration you
have.
Test point is paring of test case and configuration. If you
have two test case TC1 and TC2 and configuration as C1, C2 and C3 then you will
have totally six test point. Test point relate to the number of test case and
configuration you create.
You can create your own configuration from the organize tab
as shown below and assign the configuration to your test cases
Specifying Default test plan-
You can create a default
configuration as shown below, so now every test cases which gets added to the
test plan the default configuration gets applied to it. It gets applied even to
the test cases which are copied from other test plan.
Making use of configuration to run automated test
You can make use of MTM
configuration to run your automated test on different browser. Consider you
want to run your test on chrome, firefox and IE. Create three configuration
under your automation test plan named as “chrome” , “firefox” and “IE” and
assigned them to your automated test cases.
When test is triggered from MTM TestContext
exposes many information out of which “__Tfs_TestConfigurationName__” property
can be utilized to determine on which browser the test should run.
In your Coded UI test test initialize method read the name of your
configuration assigned to test cases as below
if (TestContext.Properties["__Tfs_TestConfigurationName__"].ToString() != null)
{
BrowserWindow.CurrentBrowser = TestContext.Properties["__Tfs_TestConfigurationName__"].ToString();
}
So now your coded ui test runs on
the browser you have specified in your MTM configuration.
