Project Description

Lightweight editor for Visual Studio Microsoft Test Manager 2010 test case steps. Break the shackles of MTM! Features include tabbed interface for editing multiple tests, random string generator, search/replace, copy/paste, and now results publishing! Supports editing of test cases with shared steps, and shared steps themselves.

Originally conceived to enable editing of actions / expected results with multi-line text. Press Shift + Enter to insert a break.

Get Release 2.0.1 with result publishing here: TestStepsEditor_201.zip

The TFS Test Steps Editor requires the TFS 2010 SP1 client object model, available here: Visual Studio Gallery (Fixes "could not load file or assembly" exceptions when only VS2012 is installed)
