Basically you can run test whenever you want, you need simply to override the right target(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337604.aspx) of end-to-end iteration running mstest inside it (or nunit or whatever test suite you like).

The only problem is that you are talking of UI test, are them web test or they are test that interact with the desktop? In the latter situation it is not possible to run inside the build process, because it does not have access to a desktop.

Would you happen to know if its possible to run the tests as the last step in the build ? I have some UI tests that need to be run only once the code is compiled and deployed on a test site but my tests are part of compiled code.

I’ll do a try and will make a post, to be honest I never did it, but I think that it can be quite complicated, because you will need to access and parse the full test result file, creating issues for failing test, but it should be possible.

Usually, if you do a continuous integration and you ask for 100% test success, you usually create a bug and assign to the person that broke tests.

Hi,

I want know how can we assign this created issue to a owner of the test case.If possible do we need to set any properties in the unit case or vsmdi file.
