If you have worked with Team System for Testers and you have tried to create a manual test, you probably noticed that every time you need to customize the text or the word document that was generated for you.

You can actually customize the template or you can create new templates for manual tests.

Customize the manual test template

The manual test file is stored in the project item template, which is located in Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\1033\ManualTestWordFormat.zip.

Once you open it you can customize it as you like.

I do not think that this is the best option since you do not want only one manual test template.

Create new manual test templates

As mentioned before, rather than changing this template, I think you're better off adding new manual test item templates for each word template you want. You can also add new manual test by adding new item templates.

Here is a well guided tutorial for creating custom manual test template.
