Test Scribe – Automatic Document Generating For Test Manager 2010

I got this question from lots of customers – How can I export Test Cases, Test Plans to a word document?

As you know Test Manager 2010 allows you to manage the entire Test Suite in one Tool, but for some customer installing Test Manager on every computer isn’t possible – For example – performing Tests on Linux…

One more reason is the ability to send the tests to the customer, so he can perform in house testing.

I’ve already saw couple of consultants building their own tools to complete this task – There is No Need to write it your self!!!

Test Scribe is a tool created by VSTS Quality Tools for generating documentation about TCM (Test Case Management) artifacts.
Testers can use a stand-alone client to connect to a TFS 2010 server/project.
With a Test Plan selected, users are able to generate a Test Plan Document, including information about the plan, the suite hierarchy, and each test case contained in the suites.

First Download Test Scribe and open Microsoft Test Manager,  click on the main tab (Where “Testing Center”) and click on “Tools”.

Than you can choose what type of Document you want to generate:

  1. Test Plan Summary
  2. Test Run Summary

In my example I choose “Test Plan Summary” and to generate the Word Document just click - Generate

And the result is:

I've used the TestScribe tool and am a big fan.  Last I checked (haven't used the newest release) it didn't support exporting the images into the Word document.  Do you know if this feature is supported?

If not, do you have any references to help implement this feature?

Hi,

Exporting images from Attachment? so No, and the only solution I can think of is writing your own tool.

I'll try working on that.

Thanks

Hi,

Is this available on codeplex or another open source site. I really like what I have seen so far but for us to use this, we need to export it to our template. I would also love to have a RequirementsScribe and TraceMatrixScribe. My team here would be willing to contribute if it was made available.

Thanks,
