I want to track results of manual test cases in VS online (where I keep my tasks, bugs etc). I've created a test plan and some test cases, and can start a test run and mark test cases as passed/failed, with comments per test case.

However, my source control and build are not in VS online, but in a totally separate system - non-ideal situation I can't change. I would like to mark each test run with a build number from my build system - but how can I do that?

I've tried:

Run with options - but that only lets me select TFS builds, and my build is not in TFS. Run test plan with options - select build

Add build as test run comment - but how do I enter a comment? test results - comment

It doesn't support to use a build outside VSTS. It only supports to choose a TFS build. You could vote this User Voice about choosing an outside build: https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/330519-team-services/suggestions/16363333-vsts-choosing-a-outsite-build-when-run-a-test-case

About the Test Run comments, in VSTS web page, it can't add a comment for test runs. But you could use MTM to add a Test Run comment.

  1. Open MTM and connect to your test plan.
  2. Under the Test tab, choose Analysis Test Runs.
  3. Find your test run and double click to open that test run.
  4. Add your comment and Save.

  • Works great, I also voted for the user comment. I must say that test plan tracking in VSTS is extremely limited, and this weird UI limitation is not helping at all. – Jonathan Sep 27 '16 at 11:06
