As Brian said we have made a ton of improvements for Testers with the Team Foundation Service released during TechEd. In looking at the last two sprints in TFS I see over 14 new features!
- Add/rename/delete new parameters and values to a test case
- Run a suite using a single gesture
- Drag and drop between suites and test cases
- Manage attachments to test steps in the test case creation/editing dialog
- Insert existing Shared Steps during Test case authoring
- Create test plans
- Create new test suite for selected test plan
- Add Requirement based suites to the selected test plan
- Create Query based suites for the selected test plan
- Use hierarchical queries for adding Test cases to a Test suite
- Add existing test cases to a static or requirements based suite
- Create new Shared Steps during Test case authoring
- Shift+Enter for multiline and ENTER for adding new row (Yeah!)
- Create new test steps at any row instead of only at the end
Many of these features are self explanatory but thought i would high light some my favorites!
Add/rename/delete new attachments, parameters and values to a test case

One of the best way for testers to walk through a test case is to have a rich information set guiding them during the execution. By adding support for attaching images, shared steps and parameters testers should have a much better success when running their tests. For more information on using these features see: http://tfs.visualstudio.com/en-us/create-tests
Run all the test cases in an entire suite using a single gesture

Being able to execute all the Test cases in a Test suite is a huge convenience and one that we have added to the Test Hub in this Team Foundation Server service release.
For a walk through of running tests see: http://tfs.visualstudio.com/en-us/run-tests
Drag and drop Test cases to Test suites
![]()
I am invariably creating Test cases in the root of a Test plan and enabling dragging and dropping Test cases to different Test suites is a huge benefit that i have already had to use several times!
Create Test plans and new types of Test suites
![]()
The intent is for Testers to be able to do most of there work from the Test hub of Team Foundation Server and being able to create Test suites: static, query based and hierarchical and Test plans really facilitate this!
For a great walk through of using these features please see: http://tfs.visualstudio.com/en-us/create-a-test-plan
Shift+Enter for multiline and ENTER for adding new row
![]()
I am so happy this was changed to match the Microsoft Test Manager keystrokes! I have lost track of how many times i have messed up demos due to hitting enter to get a new step.
