How to find all Test Suites a particular Test Case belongs to

Question

I have a Test Case in Microsoft Test Manager 2010 that is used in a Test Plan.

How can I find this Test Case in the Test Plan? Is there at least a column in the Organize view that shows the paths of the Test Plans where the Test Case is used?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, MTM UI does not provide any possibility to search for Test Cases.

Edit: (see comment)
Unfortunately, MTM UI does not provide any possibility to search for Test Cases that belong to a particular Test Plan or Test Suite.

May be a solution for you:
You can check to which Test Suites a particular Test Case belongs to using TFS-API.
Here is a code snipped that works on TFS 2013:

// Current user credentials will be used to access to TFS
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfsCollection = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(<TFS Url>));
tfsCollection.EnsureAuthenticated();

ITestManagementService testManagementService = tfsCollection.GetService<ITestManagementService>();
ITestManagementTeamProject  teamProject = testManagementService.GetTeamProject(<team project name>);

// Get all Test Suites your Test Case belongs to
// (Across all Test Plans in the Team Project)
ITestSuiteCollection testSuites = teamProject.TestSuites.ReferencingTestCase(testCaseId);

Have a look at the ITestManagementTeamProject Interface, you can do a lot with it.
(Hint: currently this interface is absolutely not documented for VS 2013 so switch the page to VS 2012 and you will usually find a little more documentation).

For your task on building a whole path to the particular Test Suite check ITestSuiteHelper Interface and ITestSuiteBase Interface. They provide you with data you need to follow the Test Suites' tree of your project.
