将Microsoft Test Manager 2010与SfTS一起使用时，可以将验收测试重新用于回归测试吗？

Question

We are moving our projects to TFS 2010 using the SfTS v3 (Scrum for Team System) template. We need to understand how Microsoft Test Manager is supposed to be used in this Scrum process.

Specific scenario & question:

The QA manager uses Test Manager to create a test plan. This aligns to our sprint. In the sprint, he create Acceptance Test WIs (Work Items) that are core to the functionality. These pass for the specific sprint. On the next sprint, he makes another test plan. The Acceptance Test WIs from the previous sprint and needed again as part of the regression testing.

Does the Acceptance Test (AC) state have to be "passed" so the Product Backlog Item (PBI) can be closed? Can the AC WI be reused between sprints?

Answer 1

Does the Acceptance Test (AC) state have to be "passed" so the Product Backlog Item (PBI) can be closed?

Yes

Can the AC WI be reused between sprints?

Of course for regression and to do this you will need to copy the test cases from sprint to another sprint but remember this will not make a deep copy and will make reference for the previous sprint in reporting, you can use the following tool for bulk copy http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/72576517-821b-46c2-aa1a-fab940752292

Visual Studio 11 Beta will support bulk deep copy without reference and it's available now for production, so I recommended using it. http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/downloads
