View Test Case summary in Microsoft Test Manager

Question

I use Microsoft Test Manager for run Test Cases. My preconditions for test is in Summary of Test Case. When test case is run user can't see Summary.

Is there any approach to see Summary of Test Case on Test Run?

Answer 1

You can not see the summary of the Test Case when you run it manually.
But there are another possibilities to display preconditions for the tester:

• Using multi-line step(s)
  Store the preconditions in the "Action" part of a Test Case step and use this step as the first step in the test case.
  You can insert a line break using Alt+Enter
• Using Test Step attachment
  Store the preconditions in a document (called "Preconditions" so the testers know what it is)
  Attach this document to the first step so the tester can open it when running the test.

Answer 2

You should be able to show the Summary data for the test case in Test Runner (I'm using MTM/VS2012). In the test runner, above the steps on the right side below the Configuration label is a downward chevron. Click that and it expands to show the test case summary.

Answer 3

It depends where you have stored the preconditions in the test case. To see the preconditions information during test execution you need to add the information to the description field in the summary tab
