How to determine which test suites use my test configuration?

Question

Hello again,

How can I determine which test suite is using my test configuration?  I have one I want to delete, but I don't want to do so until I determine if anyone is using it.

Is there no way to delete a test configuration if it has ever been used?

Answer 1

I would do it with the sdk.

Query all test plans where testSetting is used. 

testProject.TestPlans.Query("SELECT * FROM TestPlan").Select(i => i.AutomatedTestSettingsId).ToList();

or use the ITestSettingHelper instead and Find() the setting you are after. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.teamfoundation.testmanagement.client.itestsettingshelper.aspx

You could also use command line "tcm" to get this information. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff942472.aspx use tcm plan and the switch query to filter the result to all plans that use the test setting file you are after. example in the link.

Ok - I'll try this.  Thanks. 

I would prefer the command-line option.  If that doesn't work, I'll go to the SDK to get it.
