    Hi,

     

    Assuming that manual tests are under source control (TFVC), I believe that TFVC can be set up to sent a notification (e-mail, sms, etc.) when something is checked-in into the folder with manual tests. Then automation team will have to examine changes log in TFVC to see what was changed and to decide if something must be corrected in test code.

    A similar approach is to establish review policy in TFVC and set the automation team as a reviewer for the manual tests changes.
