Getting Test Settings from Microsoft Test Manager into your tests

This code is by way of the awesome Ben Schaefer. This should have been a native function included with Microsoft Test Manager. This code will allow your tests to retrieve environment speficic settings from Microsoft Test Manager. It's got the ability to create arbitrary settings in MTM, but tests can't access those settings without something like this.

From Ben:

For example the following will return the name of all machines in the environment your test is running in that have the Tag Value “TFE” added to them.

            EnvironmentConfig EnvCfg = new EnvironmentConfig();

            EnvironmentConfig.Agent[] TFEs = EnvCfg.getAgentsWithTagValue("TFE");

 

 

Setting the TFE Tag on your Agent can be done by going into your Lab Center, opening an environment and adding a new Tag or you can add attribute Tags directly to your environment and access them like this:

            EnvironmentConfig EnvCfg = new EnvironmentConfig();

            string tfeServer = EnvCfg.GetEnvironmentTagValue("TFE");
