Issue linking Ranorex CodedUI tests to MTM/VSO 2013 CI
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2015 6:37 pm
We have an established CI process which links 118 Ranorex test cases to MTM test cases and runs them on a dedicated automation VM, which is triggered by a timed build in Visual Studio (Mainly based on this process http://www.ranorex.com/fileadmin/docume ... n_VM_e.pdf).
The CI process is still working correctly, but I have just tried to add another test and found that due to changes in the layout of the test case work item page in VSO/MTM, the 'Associated Automation' function is no longer shown.
So you used to click on the ellipses and the list of test cases to be linked would appear: As you can see in this image, the 'Associated Automation' tab has moved and the linking mechanism is no longer present: In the next screen grab you can see an existing, working and linked automated test shown in MTM, VSO and VS. In the bottom part of the image is VSO showing the linked test case, but you have never been able to link test cases from here only in VS. In the top left is MTM showing the correct tab, but the automation links are no longer present. The top right image shows the work item in VS, but again the linking mechanism is missing. I think it is tied into this recent microsoft VSO update https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/2015-dec-10-vso but I wondered if anyone else had encountered this issue and how to resolve it.
