TFS: How to convert an Automated test to standard/manual test


Currently I have a bunch of automated tests that have steps that can be run manually. The steps are things like press a button and verify that the view changes. The test is marked as automated because once upon a time it was automated, but the test system is now defunct.

How do I change the test so I can run the test by hand following the steps like a standard test case (non-automated)?

I don't see a way to change it back to "Not Automated", or run it as not automated.


Solution

  • In Test Manager or in the TFS Test Run you can select Run with options to choose to test the old automated tests manually. The Run with options allows me to choose how to run the test and select a manual method rather than the automated one.

    Select Run with Web Browser or with the Test Runner as part of the Test Manager:
