Question

Our test department has a series of web tests created using Visual Studio 2005 Team Tester Edition.

I would like to be able to execute these tests against my local machine. I attempted to use the mstest command line tool to accomplish this as described in this MSDN article. But I get the following error:

C:\WebTests\Participant>mstest /testcontainer:AE_ActivityDue_Touch.webtest Microsoft (R) Test Execution Command Line Tool Version 9.0.30729.1 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Loading AE_ActivityDue_Touch.webtest… AE_ActivityDue_Touch.webtest File extension specified ‘.webtest’ is not a valid test extension.

Any hints on how I can get this to work? Eventually we want to work them into our CI process.

Answer 1

You need VSTS Test Edition. No bueno.
