Recovering the TestCase category after accidently moving failed TestCases back to Active in Microsoft Test Manager

Question

I was having a FolderA created in a TestSuite under Microsoft Test Manager. Ran the TestCases one after another and now I have 15 TestCases Failed and 15 Passed and 15 Active, as category in the TestPlan.

Now, next day I got insane and moved my Passed and Failed TestCases back to Active, by Right click them and selecting "Rest test to Active".

So I lost my last status of one day work.

How can I move them all back again to Failed and Passed Category.?

Thanks & Regards Sumeet

Answer 1

You cannot set them back to their previous status as if they had never been reset to active as TFS doesn't allow you to fake dates and/or remove history. However, if you look at the test run under Test >> Analyze Test Runs you should be able to see what the result of those tests were before you reset their status. You can then change the status of those tests back manually.
