How do you show failed test comments on Team foundation server

Question

I have added comments on failed tests within tfs but these cannot be shown any where even when you click into the test. How can one show the comments entered on tests?

Answer 1

Presumably you're working in Team Web Access rather than the Test Manager client?

I'd be happy to be proved wrong on this but I don't believe you can view the comments directly in Web Access.

If you open up the test details pane (right hand side of your Test Plan view)

Then you can select Test Results in the Pane menu

If you double click the test result or click the Open in Microsoft Test Manager button (beside Refresh) then it will launch MTM (assuming you have it installed) and you will see more details including the individual steps and any comments you added.

You can also go to this directly in MTM on the Test tab and select Analyse Test Runs. Double click the run you want the details of.

If you're not using MTM then you could associate the test run fail with a Bug (click the Create Bug button on the test runner) and you test steps and comments will be added to the Bug Work Item steps to reproduce.

As rerwinRR mentioned, this is not possible in team web access. But you may vote for this feature wish: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/330519-team-services/suggestions/11336064-give-possibility-in-team-web-access-to-see-the-com
