How to run test cases from a Testsuite inside a Testplan through command line

Question

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\TCM.exe" run /create "/title:Overnight Build Run" /planid:8 /collection:http://hahaha:8080/tfs/DevelopmentCollection /teamproject:SQL"/querytext:SELECT * FROM TestSuite WHERE Planid='8'" "/settingsname:SoakTest" /owner:test\test /builddir:\\wxxx\Builds\SQL\Live "/testenvironment:Soak" /include

It runs all Tests in Test Plan I only want to Run Tests from Test Suites inside this Test Plan, what should be the query?

Anyone have any idea?

Answer 1

You can run Test Cases which belong to a particular Test Suite using parameter /suiteid calling tcm.exe:

TCM.exe run /create /title:<Title> /planid:<PlanId> /suiteid:<SuiteId> /collection:http://hahaha:8080/tfs/DevelopmentCollection /teamproject:SQL /settingsname:SoakTest /owner:test\test /builddir:\\wxxx\Builds\SQL\Live /testenvironment:Soak /include

Use

tcm.exe suites /list /planid:<your plan id> /collection:<CollectionURL> /teamproject:<Team Project name>

to list all Test Suites belonging to the particular Test Plan.

Answer 2

That's how to find out Test Suite ID No

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE

TCM suites  /list  /planid:8 /collection:your peoject TFS URL /teamproject:Project Name
