How to: Add a Test Result to a Work Item
[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
After you run tests and obtain test results, you can create a work item directly from a test result, using the Test Results window. If the test result has already been published, it is automatically linked to the work item. If the test result has not yet been published, you will be prompted to publish it.
If you choose not to publish the test result, you can add it to the work item after the fact, as described in the following procedure.
Important
The work item database resides on a Team Foundation Server computer. This means that you can create work items, including bugs, only if you have Team Explorer installed, and your Visual Studio user session is connected to a Team Foundation Server computer. For more information, see How to: Connect and Access Team Projects in Team Foundation Server.
