Assign another tester in a Test Run in Microsoft Test Manager

Question

I'm testing a Test Case with a few steps in Microsft Test Manager. When I run this Test Case, I want to execute only a few steps and then assign another tester to this Test Run.

Eg I have three steps. The first two steps are for me to test. After those two steps, I want to stop testing and assign another tester so that he can test the third step.

But I can't find a way to stop testing, and assign a new user to this Test Case.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks!

This definitely cannot be done. When you run a Test Case a new Test Run is created and stored in the tfs database. The steps executed for this run and their result, comments, attachments etc are saved and cannot be edited.

From a test point of view, I think that even if you could do this, you shouldn't. Every test case should be as simple as possible so everyone can execute it. If you really need this, perhaps you should split the test case to two different tests, and the second one will have the first as prerequisite .
