Running Automated Tests Using Microsoft Visual Studio
There are several ways to run your automated tests. If you just want to run your automated tests locally or use a test controller and test agents, you can do that from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
However, if you have to plan out your testing effort and run your tests as part of a test plan, you can use Microsoft Test Manager. For more information about how to use Microsoft Test Manager, see Defining Your Testing Effort Using Test Plans.
Note
Microsoft Test Manager is provided as part of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio Test Professional SKUs.
