Scope: I need a possibility to re-assign, on a bugs basis, the test case again to the same tester/testers which has reported this bug.
MTM 2015 got this "Verify function" under the testing center menu "Test" - Verify bugs and by right clicking on a bug in the list.
Now when I do this, it'll start the MTM test runner with me as the assigned tester. But thats actually not what I need.
I came as far as this with my researches:
TFS 2015 hasn't any "Verify" function - only available from version 2017.1 or later (more here on section: Verify a bug, re-run tests ...)
So could anybody help me out of this (updating to TFS 2017 or later is no option for the moment)?
The simplest and effective way still is using bug workitem workflow to track the process. Even without the verify function in TFS2015, you still could link your test case in the bug workitem. You need to customize the bug work item type. Add a custom filed such as retest and add a condition (retest filed need to change to pass) during the transform from active to resolve.
Then just set "assign to" filed = work item creator to make sure the test case run again by the same tester/testers which has reported this bug.
However this will create a new test result in a new test run. It will not update the original test result. If you just want to rerun failed test cases from TFS 2015. Unfortunately ,this is not an inbuilt feature. More details please refer this issue in GitHub.
