TFS 2017 Test plan: navigate to test cases within suite

Question

According keyboard shortcuts in TFS test plan there is no option for go to specific test case in test plan (ex. search by ID and select line with this test case). Is there any option for search test cases like it realised for example in excel (Ctrl+F)?

Answer 1

In TFS 2017, you can try below ways to filter the test cases:

1. Add tags for test cases, then filter the test cases by tags.

   Click Filter Test Plans button -->> Change value to Microsoft.TestCaseCategory -->> add/delete clause based on you requirement -->> Run the filter to get the needed test cases. (Reference below screenshot)

2. In browser (eg Chrome or IE), navigate to the specific test suite, then Ctrl + F, enter the test case ID or special information of the specific test case.

3. Create New query-based suite, then Edit query to query out the needed cases.
