How to integrate Custom automation framework with MTM

Question

We have a custom automation framework in place. So for running scripts we have a windows application for trigger some test case. Test cases are simple C# methods and we invoke them using Reflection.

Now My requirement is to integrate this framework with MTM. and would like to have continuous integration in process. This means I want if some build comes then some of the test case will automatically start running to secure our code.

How can I achieve this?

More specifically my requirement is I pushed some code related to some PBI, So the testcase related to that requirement should automatically run.

Generally the CI ( continuous integration ) is against the build process in TFS.

If you mean run the tests using custom test framework, then you need to create a Test Adapter accordingly, so that VS and the Build server can pick up the tests. Here is a good article for your reference on how to do this: Authoring a new Visual studio unit test adapter

Actually you can run the tests in build process, with the CI set, the new build will be triggered once a new change checked in, then the tests will run automatically. Refer to below articles for details:

• vNext build - Testing in Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment Workflows

• Xaml build - TFS, Automated Testing and Continuous Integration

If you still want to use MTM, you can reference below articles:

• Automate a test case in Microsoft Test Manager
