Linking your Selenium Tests to Microsoft Test Manager (2)

Introduction

Last time we talked about a way of linking selenium Mstests to MTM. This week we will see another way of linking an automated test with a MTM test plan by using tcm import tool (so we don't need to to this manually).

TCM Import

Here you have the link to MSDN documentation https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff942471(v=vs.120).aspx. 
The purpose of this tool is to import automated tests (selenium, codedui, unit tests, etc.) to a Test plan written in MTM (Microsoft test manager). The import will be done only for MSTests methods (not NUnit). The result of the import will create an work item of type Test Case in TFS, for every existing TestMethod in your projects. The example from the last post was this.

Here we have only one method named CodedUiTestMethod1, which, in fact contains Selenium code. 
In order to create a corresponding Test Case work item I did this:
- Opened Developer Command Prompt for VS2013 that you can find it in Visual Studio Tools folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts for VS 2013)
- In cmd navigated to the location of your .dll with tests
- Run this command

tcm testcase /import /collection:https://myonlineproject.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection

/teamproject:myProjectName /storage:LinkMTMSelenium.dll

- Now the Work item of type Test case with the name CodedUiTestMethod1 is created
- Associate this Test Case to a Project Plan in MTM

- Set your environment in MTM like described in the previous post
- Run your test from MTM from Test tab. Run will be run on the configured environment 

- Search results will be displayed at the end and the required 

- You will be able to see the test results also in VS Online

Happy testing and... make it green, becomes a dream :).
