You can plan your testing efforts and run tests by using Visual Studio Team Web Access on a computer where Visual Studio is not installed:

  • Important: You must have the Microsoft Test Manager extension installed on your Team Foundation Server or for your Team Services account.

  • Access your project directly from your web browser:

    For On-Premises Team Foundation Server

    http://<Your_Server_Name>:8080/tfs/<Collection_Name>/<Project_Name>

    For Team Foundation Services

    https://<Your_VSO_Account_Name>.visualstudio.com/<Project_Name>

    You can find information on Web Access in the Work in the TFS Web Portal article of the MSDN Library.

Computers Where Tests Run

To run your test plan on remote test agents by using the Run Functional Tests task

Test agents must have the following software installed:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio Test Agent for Visual Studio 2015–2017.

  • TestComplete 12 (or TestExecute 12).

  • TestComplete 12 Visual Studio Integration Package.

    The Integration Package installer is shipped along with TestComplete. You can find it in the TestComplete folder after installing the product:

    <TestComplete 12>\VS Integration\VSIntegration.exe

    Run this installer after installing TestComplete on the computer, where you will run tests. In the installation wizard, select the Test Agent Integration feature appropriate for your version of test agent.

To run your test plan in a lab environment

Test Agent for Visual Studio 2015 does not support running tests in lab environments. To run tests in lab environments by using Test Manager, use test controllers for Visual Studio 2013. You can find more information about it in the MSDN Library.

To Get Test Controllers and Test Agents for Visual Studio 2013

  • Test Controller:

    • Microsoft Visual Studio Test Controller for Visual Studio.

    • TestComplete 12 (or TestExecute 12).

    • TestComplete 12 Visual Studio Integration Package.

      The Integration Package installer is shipped along with TestComplete. You can find it in the TestComplete folder after installing the product:

      <TestComplete 12>\VS Integration\VSIntegration.exe

      Run this installer after installing TestComplete on the computer, where you create and configure test projects. In the installation wizard, select the Build and Test Integration or Test Agent Integration feature appropriate for your version of Test Controller.

  • Test Agent:

    • Microsoft Visual Studio Test Agent for Visual Studio.

    • TestComplete 12 (or TestExecute 12).

    • TestComplete 12 Visual Studio Integration Package. You install it in the same way you install it for test controllers (see above).
