Prerequisites

  • Project connection:

  • Access Levels:

    • To request or provide feedback, have Stakeholder access or higher.

  • Permissions:

    • To add or modify bugs or other work item types, have the Edit work items in this node permission set to Allow under the corresponding Area Path.
    • To add new tags, have the Create tag definition permission set to Allow.

For more information, see Set permissions and access for testing.

Collect diagnostic data from web and desktop apps

For web apps under test, you can use web-based Microsoft Test Runner. For desktop apps, download and install the Test Runner desktop client to collect the following data on demand:

For more information, see Exploratory test and submit feedback directly from your browser.

To collect advanced diagnostic data such as code coverage, IntelliTrace, and Test Impact data (in addition to the previously listed data items), you must configure the data collectors and other run settings in Microsoft Test Manager and run your tests using Microsoft Test Manager. For more information, see Run manual tests with Microsoft Test Manager.

Note

If you have an older version of Microsoft Test Manager, we recommend you upgrade to the latest version. However, if you have Microsoft Test Manager 2015 or an earlier version installed, you can choose Microsoft Test Runner 2015 and earlier when you launch the test runner using Run with options. You must configure the data collectors and other run settings in Microsoft Test Manager and specify these as the default settings for the test plan. For more information, see Run manual tests with Microsoft Test Manager.
