Editing tags on Test Cases in MTM 2013 & TFS


When using MS Test Manager 2013 there does not seem to be any way of adding/editing tags on a test case. I can however select tags as a column to be displayed in for test cases in MTM.

If I open the test case work item in the TFS web portal, I can add/edit tags on the test case there.

Am I missing something? Is there any way to add tags in MTM without having to flip over to web access every time.


Solution

  • Make sure you update your Test Manager / Visual Studio installation to the latest Visual Studio Update, that should enable the Tags field on your work items.

    If I remember correctly, your TFS server also needs to have at least TFS 2013 update 2 installed, but as Microsoft only supports the latest released update, I'd recommend to update to TFS 2013 Update 4.
