Glad you were able to get things resolved!  It is definitely kind of a sucky 
experience I know...

I went ahead and passed along your feedback about the scenario you hit to make 
sure the team at least captures it J

Subject: Re: Test Runner not populating bug report

Thanks guys. Those are the steps I was hoping to avoid. I performed them this 
morning and sure enough, it is all working. It took over two hours. I recommend 
not using the new bulk work item update from the Web Access. It was 
horrendously slow. I had to cancel it and use Excel. I started with Excel 
first, but it can't populate long Steps to Reproduce, so I modified the work 
item type to perform a copy, and just updated the history of all the Bugs.

I must say though, what is the point of the bugfieldmapping if it is 
hard-coded? It is quite disappointing the apparent disregard for existing 
installs. Now on to update all our reports against the new cube :S

Regards

Hi Matthew,

You do indeed need to have fields with the reference names that Microsoft Test 
Manager is looking for if you want the fields to be populated.  When I have 
upgraded team projects using MSF CMMI v4.2 to MSF CMMI v5.0, I have gone 
through these steps:


*         create a new HTML field on the Bug WIT called 
Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.ReproSteps

*         copy the contents of the Microsoft.VSTS.CMMI.StepsToReproduce field 
to the new field

*         remove the old field:  Microsoft.VSTS.CMMI.StepsToReproduce

There isn't a way to customize Microsoft Test Manager to use fields other than 
the ones they were expecting.  They are hard-coded values. L

Take care,

Hi,

I don't know about the fields, but Lab Management is not needed to get the 
system information. However you need to check the System Information checkbox 
in the Test Settings->Data and Diagnostics for your test plan. It is checked by 
default.

Subject: Test Runner not populating bug report

Hi

I've just completed the upgrade from TFS 2008 to TFS 2010 this week. I've added 
Test Case Management support following the steps 
here<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff452591(v=VS.100).aspx>. One 
difference is that I did not add Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.ReproSteps field instead, 
in the ReproSteps of the bugfieldmapping I added our existing 
Microsoft.VSTS.CMMI.StepsToReproduce field.

Using the Test Runner to create a bug, no repro steps are entered, and the 
System Info field displays "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: name". Is 
there something special with the TCM.ReproSteps field, that I can't reuse an 
existing field of the same type? Do I need to run with Lab Management before I 
get System Info? Or is there something I'm missing?

Cheers

Matthew Rowan
