Some times your test relay on additional file that need to be in the same folder where Team System running the Test.

Those files can’t be add into the GAC and you can’t copy them manually each time.

Open Test Configuration – Right click on Test Menu –> “Edit Test Run Configuration” –> “Local Test Configuration”

Select “Deployment” and check “Enable deployment”.

Add Folder/File to be deploy with your test.
