Yes! MTM is a front end to a specific set of TFS items. (I guess they are considered work items). These test cases are created with steps in them. Within a steps, one can use a symbol that specifies a parameter. For instance, a step might say
- Login with @UserName.
When a parameter is introduced into the test case, a grid appears at the bottom of the test case window allowing entry of rows of data.
When running a manual test case in the runner, the runner iterates through the rows in the table so that the tester runs the same test against each of the rows of the parameter table.
In a Coded UI test, you can use the parameter table to drive the data driven test. Thusly upon execution, the data that was run through is saved with the execution status. Also one would not need to maintain a separate database or excel file for the test case data.
Does that make sense?
Thanks
