How to Customize LabDefaultTemplate.xaml to run multiple test suites / test runs as part of one deployment?

Question

Hi,

How can I run multiple test suites as part of a single lab-managed deployment? I've found these articles to be generally helpful however it doesn't describe the format of how to create a RunTestDetails object the same way it describes, for instance, to create a ScriptDetails object. It's not enough that the wizard creates this object for me; I want to create multiple RunTestDetails objects to handle multiple runs in one workflow. 

Was this a documentation oversight? Am I perhaps missing an important section? My goal is to be able to run multiple test runs against a lab-managed environment. I've tried to use ordered tests, but it's not very helpful to always have to drill down into one single ordered test case; I'd rather see reports for each of the 80 ran tests directly. Thus I'm considering building logic into the workflow to create one test run per test case. This will also hopefully allow more control of which tests to run in parallel, and which wait for each other.

Not sure if it entirely solves your purpose but you can take a look at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/tfs-2010-parallel-test-execution.aspx
