weeks ago my manager talked to me that we created so many test cases for Release 1, but all “Testers” are showing your name! I replied:
That’s because "AssignedTo" and "Testers" are different. I use “Assigned to” field in TFS and MTM all
the time.
When
viewing test cases in TFS, we only see “AssignedTo “as follows:
Can
you change the name in “Testers” field in TFS? The answer is NO in TFS because
there is no “Testers” field . But you can change it in MTM. Click one test case,
right click and choose “assign testers to select for selected tests”
You
can also change it in TFS Web dashboard once you have the license to see the test
suites inside the Test tab. But I heard
it costs more than $ 2,000 per person. Is it worth it? If you don’t have the license of installing
MTM, you can’t change “Testers” either.
In the project team, only testers care about test case creation and execution. Who cares
about how many test suites you have in Test tab? They only care about the tasks
assigned to testers in each sprint.
From
my experience, testers can sit down with business analysts and developers to go
through test cases to see if there is something missing, but they are not interested
in testers’ work. The project team only cares about the final test result.
Due
to license issue, not all people in the project team can view test suites
inside the “Test” tab in TFS Web dashboard. If the budget is limited in your
project team, I don’t see any value using “Testers” field in this case.
