Question

When using TFS 2012 we create Product Backlog Items (PBI) and assign those to a responsible developer. We generate a test suite per PBI. We'd like to alert the "owner" of the PBI (whoever the PBI is assigned to) when a test case fails that is on a suite associated with the PBI.

Does TFS 2012 support this kind of alert?

(Note: I'm using the Scrum 2.2 process template)

Was it helpful?

Solution

It does not appear this is possible through the standard TFS alerts setup. The main issue is that the status of the test case (active, passed, failed) is actually associated with a test run and not the test case itself. The test run does not appear to be a work item I can query against.

I believe we will go with creating a bug when a Test Case fails (easy enough to trigger emails regarding new bugs)...I think this maybe the more "traditional" approach in the Scrum template.
