Authoring test procedures under Team Foundation Server

This section describes how to set up a TestArchitect project to allow for tests to be managed and exchanged with TFS. With your TA project integrated with TFS-MTM, you can import TFS test cases and test suites into TA and, conversely, upload TA test cases, test modules and test folders into TFS.

To set up TestArchitect to allow for tests to be run from MTM, and/or have test results uploaded to TFS, see Running automated tests under on-premises Team Foundation Server.

Team Foundation Server-Microsoft Test Manager prerequisites for TestArchitect
This section describes the requirements for setting up TestArchitect to develop tests in a TFS-MTM environment.

Configuring TestArchitect for a Team Foundation Server® connection
Establish a connection between TestArchitect and the Team Foundation Server (TFS) using an external tool provided by TestArchitect. (Note that activating a connection to TFS automatically deactivates connections to other external tools such as HP Quality Center.)

Mapping a TestArchitect project to a Team Foundation Server project
Mapping a TA project to TFS team project allows you to upload test results to TFS.

Importing TFS test cases to TA
Test cases residing on TFS may be imported into TestArchitect, establishing one-to-one mappings between the two sets of test cases.

Importing Team Foundation Server test suites to TestArchitect
Just as TFS test cases may be imported, test suites residing in TFS may be also imported into TestArchitect.

Uploading TestArchitect test modules/test cases to Team Foundation Server
TestArchitect test cases and test modules can be uploaded to the TFS server, which also establishes one-to-one mappings between the two sets of test cases.
